Deforestation and land clearing causes 20-25% of all carbon emissions per year. Thats more than all transportation emissions and second only to emissions from coal powered energy production.

By avoiding deforestation we hope to reduce climate change carbon emissions and protect forests, biodiversity and alleviate poverty. We especially focus on tropical rainforests.

Avoided Deforestation is a method of creation of carbon credits pioneered by Carbon Conservation and its subsidiary Carbon Pool. We advocate carbon financed conservation and we are passionate about the responsibility of our world to include carbon credits earned from Avoided Deforestation in our mandatory cap and trade schemes around the world.

A metric ton of carbon released into the atmosphere from unsustainable logging practices is still a metric ton of carbon contributing to climate change. Therefore a carbon credit created by Avoiding Deforestation over an annual average or a national baseline is still a carbon credit that should be recognized and valued.

We hope to build awareness that the carbon credits from Avoided Deforestation have many added benefits over and above credits created from man made sources such as energy efficiency, renewables or monoculture reforestation. Buying Avoided Deforestation carbon credits from us provides valuable economic rewards for landholders who use sustainable practices to preserve biodiversity and the natural environment.

At Avoided Deforestation we create value for landholders, carbon credit buyers, ethical and sustainable fund managers and our future generations.
