Partnership with Carbon Tanzania
Offsetting our Emissions
To date Duma Explorer has offset 155,550 liters of diesel fuel with Carbon Tanzania. This offset helps protect ancestral forests of the Hadza hunter-gatherer tribe.
Carbon Tanzania is a Tanzanian social enterprise that works with indigenous communities in rural Tanzania to protect community-owned forests.
Carbon Tanzania is currently implementing three forest conservation projects in Tanzania. The projects work with hunter-gatherer tribes, pastoralist groups and farmers. All three projects share the following traits:
protect large areas of natural forest that are wildlife-rich,
connect protected areas to one another,
and enhance conservation outcomes by increasing the areas of forest available for biodiversity to thrive.
Duma Explorer offsets its Tanzanian vehicle emissions by buying credits with Carbon Tanzania at the end of each year. To date we have offset 155,550 liters of diesel fuel which generated 462 tonnes of CO2. Our offset helped protect 18,700 trees from being cut down across 32,000 ha of dryland forest - the ancestral forests of the Hadza hunter-gatherers. By purchasing carbon credits from the Yaeda Valley Project, Duma Explorer is helping the Hadza community to protect their forests, land rights, cultural identity and wildlife.
