Boden Creek Ecological Preserve Carbon Project
Boden Creek Ecological Preserve (BCEP), a Belizean private not-for-profit Organization, is dedicated to protecting the habitat within the Golden Stream Watershed in southern Belize by providing sustainable economic community development opportunities while mitigating climate change. BCEP has joined forces with Forest Carbon Offsets, LLC to launch the first forest carbon project in Belize using the Climate, Community, Biodiversity Standards. This innovative 24-year project will remove a minimum of 1,874,028 tons carbon dioxide from the Earth's atmosphere so as to mitigate climate change while protecting biodiversity and providing sustainable economic community development opportunities. The project is currently under audit by SCS Forestry, a world-leading independent third-party ISO 14065 verifier.
The Boden Creek Ecological Preserve project employs the world's highest quality carbon project development guidelines - the Climate, Community, Biodiversity Standards 2nd Edition Gold Standard - so as to mitigate climate change while improving biodiversity and sustainable community economic development benefits.
