Analyst briefing
Activities and scale PSPP is a 35,644-hectare AFOLU project near Pekanbaru in Riau Province, Sumatra, combining REDD on tropical peat swamp with ARR replanting on degraded cutover areas. The Riau peat landscape is exactly the kind of terrain Verra's methodology refresh was meant to cover — drained, repeatedly burned, and fragmented by adjacent concessions. At this acreage the project is mid-sized relative to Sumatran peers like the 22,934-ha Sumatra Merang Peatland Project and well below the 157,875-ha Katingan Mentaya Project 12.
