Approved VCS Methodology VM0009 Version 3.0, 6 June 2014 Sectoral Scope 14 Methodology for Avoided Ecosystem Conversion VM0009, Version 3.0 Sectoral Scope 14 This methodology was developed by Wildlife Works and ecoPartners. About Wildlife Works Wildlife Works Carbon LLC, one of the world’s leading REDD project development companies, was originally established to help local landowners in the developing world to monetize their forest and biodiversity assets, whether they are governments, communities, ownership groups or private individuals. Wildlife Works pioneered a novel business model that uses the marketplace to bring innovative economic solutions to wildlife conservation, reduce human/wildlife conflict and protect forests in the developing world. The company’s first project at Rukinga, Kenya has been operating for over a decade protecting wildlife and forests. This history has enabled Wildlife Works to launch the Kasigau Corridor REDD project, through which the company has expanded the area under protection to over 500,000 acres. Wildlife Works continues to bring the benefits of direct carbon financing to Kenyan communities, while simultaneously securing a contiguous wildlife migration corridor between Tsavo East and West National Parks. Building on this successful model, Wildlife Works plans to leverage its experience in Southeastern Kenya to future REDD projects around the globe, with a goal to protect 5 million hectares from deforestation. Wildlife Works is committed to protecting wildlife, forests and biodiversity, with a direct, hands-on approach to creating alternative livelihoods.
