Recently, we had the opportunity to interview Talby McKay, the CEO of ISB, about their innovative reforestation project taking place on farmland in Alberta and Saskatchewan. The project is focused on using ISB's exclusive bio-carbon-infused SeedBall technology to significantly enhance tree growth - up to 4 times the usual rate - with a success rate of 97%. This will be the first VCS ARR project in Central and Western Canada, and it is a Metis-owned company.

Recently we spoke with Nicola Baggio, the CEO at OffgridSun, to discuss their improved cookstove project in the Morogoro region of Tanzania. Currently, more than 96% of the 60 million people in Tanzania rely on biomass for cooking. The related dependence on firewood accounts for 139/per 100,000 deaths and has contributed to 2.7M Ha of forest loss since 2000. This project pays and trains unemployed youth and women from the communities to distribute much-needed clean cooking equipment, with the aim of delivering +5,000 improved cookstoves across six villages.
