People working across 18 Chiefdoms
Working across over 1.2 million hectares of threatened forests in 18 Chiefdoms throughout Zambia, BCP’s mission is to make conservation of wildlife habitat valuable to people. BCP employs over 200 people across 7 sites in Zambia. With plans to expand regionally, our life-changing impacts and emission-reduction conservation efforts are only going to grow!
The Lower Zambezi REDD+ Project was our initial pilot project. Since its inception, we have gone on to achieve unique milestones for both Zambia and Africa by becoming the first Verified Carbon Standard verified project in the country and then going on to achieve another 8 consecutive verifications.
LZRP was also the first REDD+ project in Africa to earn gold level validation against all 3 categories for the Climate, Community and Biodiversity Standard for our exceptional community level and environmental impacts. We are most proud of our community impacts, that wildlife numbers are increasing in the Lower Zambezi REDD+ Project, and of our hard-working and committed team.
In the 2021 Environmental Finance’s Voluntary Carbon Market Rankings, LCFP was the world’s best REDD+ project, while our Impact Report was voted the Best Impact Monitoring Report in the World. BCP featured Runner-Up as the world’s best forest carbon offset developer, and the overall carbon developer categories.
Ranked amongst the top 0.5% of B Corps globally, in 2021 BCP was awarded the “Best for Workers’ out of over 4,000 registered B Corp companies worldwide for our commitment to our BCPeople.
