A 30,000-hectare reforestation project working with cattle farmers to introduce rotational grazing, restore native forest, and generate 5 million high-integrity carbon credits over 40 years.
Half of the world’s agricultural land is pasture. The potential to reforest degraded cattle grazing land while increasing agricultural productivity is enormous.
rePLANET partners with cattle farmers to introduce rotational grazing. This increases grass production, improves cattle health, and enables them to be grass-fed all year — while releasing 5–30% of grazing land for reforestation with native species.
Farmers earn a higher income from raised productivity, reduced costs, and annual payments from soil carbon credits and ARR (Afforestation, Reforestation and Regeneration) credits. Local communities benefit through reinvested credit value, biodiversity gain is independently verified, and food production is maintained.
GANBOS 1 is the first operational project in a portfolio of five rePLANET projects across Mexico, Panama, Colombia, Argentina and Paraguay that could collectively generate 40 million high-quality carbon credits over 40 years.
Cattle grazing covers more than 2.5 billion hectares worldwide. Restoring just a fraction of degraded grazing land — without removing food production — could unlock one of the largest credible nature-based carbon opportunities on earth.
Every credit is designed to deliver nature-positive, people-positive and food-positive outcomes — measured, verified and reinvested.
Quantified across multiple taxa using the Wallacea Trust methodology, peer reviewed independently.
Of credit sale value reinvested in local stakeholders and communities, verified via Fair Credits.
High-integrity ARR credits generated over the 40-year crediting period of the project.
Each project follows a rigorous development pathway grounded in scientific baseline, community partnership and independent verification.
Ecological baseline survey, community engagement, landowner agreements, project design.
Funding secured, planting and rotational grazing implementation begins across the portfolio.
Initial ARR credit issuance after verification, with biodiversity outcomes peer reviewed.
Continuous MRV, biodiversity tracking, community benefit audits across the 40-year period.
GANBOS 1 works with more than 200 farming households across Costa Rica's Guanacaste region. Cattle farmers see income rise from higher productivity and additional credit payments, while wildlife corridors return to degraded landscapes.
From scientific peer review to community delivery, GANBOS 1 is implemented with a network of trusted partners.
