Overview
The CAS Carbon Project, located in the northeast of Antioquia, Colombia, aims to reforest and restore degraded land with Pinus tecunumanii trees across various municipalities, including Amalfi, Caracolí, Maceo, San Roque, Vegachí, Yolombó, and Yalí. With a total eligible plantation area of 7,833.54 hectares, the project seeks to capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere over a period of 20 years.
Environmental impact
Through afforestation and reforestation efforts, the project contributes to mitigating climate change by sequestering carbon dioxide and restoring natural ecosystems. By planting Pinus tecunumanii trees, the project helps in conserving biodiversity, protecting wildlife habitats, and preventing soil erosion. Additionally, the reforested areas act as carbon sinks, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting environmental sustainability.
