THE BCP TEAM
We believe the best way to drive change is being on the ground, which is why our dedicated team of professionals lives and works alongside the communities we partner with.
Deforestation is a global problem that accounts for about 15% of the world’s emissions. Zambia’s deforestation is among the highest in the world.
At BCP (BioCarbon Partners), we work hand-in-hand with rural communities to protect vital forests. By keeping trees in Zambia standing both people and wildlife benefit.
Since 2014, the Community Forests Program (CFP), implemented by BCP, is made possible by the support of the American People through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). This program is designed to support the Zambian Government’s REDD+ strategy by establishing the largest REDD+ program in the country, protecting over 700,000+ hectares of threatened forests.

Our Forest Carbon Offsets are vertified to the highest international standards by two of the most widely recognized and respected independent authorities. These standards verify that our Offsets are real, rigorously and scientifically measured, and benefit both the local communities and forests.
MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Our offsets are changing lives in Zambia and protecting valuable forests. Each offset you purchase protects our valuable planet and makes a difference in the lives of people in Zambia.
B Corp Certified
BCP became B Corp certified in 2017 because we believe in having a higher purpose than simply profit. This is why we contribute to the protection of Zambia's forests for the benefit of the world’s climate, wildlife, and people.
