*Estimated carbon sequestration is 20 kg of CO2e per tree accumulated over five years, based on low estimates of dry and humid tropical growth rates from global restoration databases.
Actual carbon impact of each Priceless Planet Coalition restoration project will be assessed after five years based on data collected throughout the monitoring process.
Through their Priceless Planet Coalition project they are a step closer to achieving that goal, as they will be restoring 360 hectares across Ecuador and Peru.
The terrain consists of steep, rocky slopes at high altitude (2,500–4,500 m).
