Improved Forest Management Carbon Credits
Improved Forest Management (IFM) projects change how existing forests are managed so they store more carbon than business as usual. Typical practices include extending harvest rotations, reducing logging intensity, and protecting high-carbon stands.
IFM credits reward keeping carbon in living ecosystems. Careful baseline-setting and third-party verification are key quality signals, since the climate benefit depends on what would have happened without the project.
