Where the offsetting goes?
The carbon credits acquired through Sustainable Travel International are distributed across all the projects in its portfolio, a mix of forests, renewable energy, coastal ecosystems and carbon removal. Each project is assessed by STI for credibility and quality, and must meet rigorous standards set by independent bodies. Beyond reducing carbon, these projects must bring real benefits to the communities and fragile ecosystems where they take place.
A few stories from the portfolio:
Keo Seima, Cambodia. Protects a tropical forest sacred to the Indigenous Bunong people and shelters threatened species such as the yellow-cheeked gibbon. It creates jobs for local communities, from forest rangers to ecotourism guides.
Yaeda-Eyasi, Tanzania. Helps the Hadza and Datooga peoples protect the forest they call home. Revenue from the credits funds jobs and education and healthcare initiatives.
Rimba Raya, Indonesia. Conserves a peat swamp forest in Borneo that was slated for conversion to palm oil plantations, and supports the return of critically endangered orangutans to the wild.
Valle Paleazza, Italy. Restores centuries-old fishing valleys in the Venice Lagoon, protecting birds, fish nurseries and traditional fishing.
Macaúbas, Brazil. Turns landfill biogas into renewable electricity, keeping methane out of the atmosphere.
Sargassum recovery, Mexico. Removes sargassum seaweed from beaches and turns it into compost and biochar, creating local jobs and supporting women-led farms.
