Curating
High-Integrity Impact.
Our registry exclusively features projects that have passed rigorous scientific audits, meet international VCU standards, and deliver direct socio-economic benefits to local coastal communities.
VCS 3660 — Mikoko Pamoja, Kenya
The world's first community-led mangrove carbon project. Located in Gazi Bay, Kenya, this project restores and protects over 100 hectares of mangroves, providing essential ecosystem services and community revenue.
VCS 2465 — Vanga Blue, Kenya
A sister project to Mikoko Pamoja, the Vanga Blue Forest project focuses on the conservation of mangroves in the Vanga-Jimbo-Kiwegu area, supporting local livelihoods and biodiversity.
Kwale Seagrass Meadows, Kenya
A pioneering seagrass restoration project in Kwale County, focusing on the carbon sequestration potential of seagrass ecosystems and the protection of critical marine habitats.
Tana Delta Mangroves, Kenya
Conservation efforts in the Tana River Delta, one of Kenya's most important wetlands, focusing on the protection of extensive mangrove forests and the unique biodiversity they support.
Beyond
Carbon Capture.
We believe that for carbon markets to be effective, they must be holistic. Our selection criteria ensures that every project delivers a 'Net-Positive' outcome across three critical dimensions.
Scientific Additionality
Projects must prove that restoration would not have occurred without the injection of Orchid's catalytic capital.
Equitable Distribution
A minimum of 60% of all project revenues must flow directly to local community projects (schools, water, clinics).
Biodiversity Flux
Projects are measured by the return of key indicator species, ensuring a healthy, multi-trophic ecosystem.
