  • Project description
    The Punta Patiño REDD+ Project is administered under the umbrella of the RCCP, with Terra Global and CATIE working closely with in-country partner ANCON, which owns and operates the Punta Patiño Reserve. The project will proceed in two phases: a first (funded) phase to complete quantification and the major technical requirements of VCS/CCB, and a second future phase to complete the project document and bring the project through final VCS/CCB 3rd Party Verification. A major goal of the Punta Patiño REDD+ Project is to develop in-country capacity and knowledge that will allow for scaling up of REDD+ across the nation.
