Analyst briefing
Activities & scale The project is listed on Verra as the West Seram REDD+ and Agarwood ForestWise Project, covering ~37,875 ha on Seram Island in Maluku under methodology VM0047 (Afforestation, Reforestation and Revegetation, v1.1) — Verra's dynamic-performance-benchmark ARR methodology approved by the ICVCM under the Core Carbon Principles 12. Despite the 'REDD+' label in the project name, the registered methodology is ARR (removals), implying tree-planting and enrichment on degraded or non-forest land rather than avoided-deforestation accounting. The listing dates to 23 November 2023 and the project is attributed to 'Multiple Proponents' 1.
