The Katingan Restoration and Conservation Project (Katingan Project) is a Verra-certified project under its Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) programme. The project is certified and achieved triple gold status under the Climate, Community & Biodiversity (CCB) Standards, which is also managed by Verra.

The Katingan Project protects and restores 149,800 hectares of peatland ecosystems, which are known to store vast amounts of carbon, while providing sustainable income opportunities for local communities and addressing global climate change. Covering one of the largest remaining intact peat swamp forests in Indonesia, the project collaborates with Indonesian villages to reduce emissions and conserve local wildlife, including the endangered Bornean orang utan, Southern Bornean gibbon, and proboscis monkey. Additionally, approximately 43,000 people across 32 communities have gained employment opportunities through project-related partnerships.

The project helps to contribute to the below United Nations Sustainable Development Goals:

The Anhuang Afforestation Project (Anhuang Project) is a Verra-certified project under its VCS programme and CCB Standards. The project aims to restore degraded ecosystems by increasing biodiversity, enhancing water conservation and reducing soil erosion. By transforming barren lands into forested areas, the initiative aims to improve the local environment and contribute to global carbon sequestration efforts.

The Anhuang Project has created employment and training for over 28,500 farmers, 60% of whom are women, improving livelihoods and incomes for the local communities. Additionally, the project has facilitated wildlife resettlement in the formerly rocky Karst region, which had been impacted by soil erosion due to intensive farming practices.
