Forest protection carbon offsets
REDD+ and improved forest management credits pay communities to keep standing forest standing — avoiding the emissions that would have been released had the land been cleared.
Typical co-benefits for projects we source in this category — your certificate shows the actual retired project's verified goals.
We sell the methodology, then source the specific verified credit from the market at retirement. The exact project, registry and serial number are confirmed on your certificate — the details below are indicative of what we source.
Forest protection carbon offsets are the most popular way to offset a carbon footprint, and at $20/tonne they balance price, impact and co-benefits. When you buy forest protection credits through BuyCarbonOffsets.org, we purchase verified Verra VCS REDD+ credits, retire them permanently on the public registry in your name, and email you a certificate you can verify online.
More than a tonne.
Individuals and businesses who want recognisable, co-benefit-rich impact at a fair price — the default choice for most one-time offsets and subscriptions.
Buyers who need permanent, engineered removal for a strict net-zero claim — see engineered removal for that.
We source only Verra VCS projects with recent verification and apply the ICVCM Core Carbon Principles screen before any credit enters our pool.
Forest protection, answered.
Forest protection offsets are $20 per tonne at BuyCarbonOffsets.org, a fixed price with no project-picking required.
We only sell Verra VCS REDD+ credits that pass an ICVCM Core Carbon Principles screen and are dated within the last 36 months, each with a public, registry-traceable serial number.
The project keeps forest standing that was at credible risk of being cleared, avoiding the emissions that clearance would have released.
