As the first REDD+ project in Zambia, the Lower Zambezi REDD+ Project pioneered the development of forest conservation projects in the country. The project is currently the first project in Africa to have achieved 8 consecutive and successful verifications against the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and was the first project in Africa (second in the World) to achieve CCB Triple Gold Verification against the Climate, Community, and Biodiversity Alliance Standards.

The LZRP provides a vital buffer area to The Lower Zambezi National Park on a piece of private land known as Rufunsa Conservancy, protecting over 60 kilometers of the boundary. Sable and roan antelope are among many special species found in the LZRP Project area. The Luangwa to Lower Zambezi eco-system is also one of Africa’s last 10 lion strongholds, and home to one of the region’s largest elephant populations. Although no lion or elephant has yet to return to Rufunsa Conservancy, we look forward to that day!
