Our current stock of biodiversity credits&mdash;one credit equals one hectare of biodiversity hotspot protected for two months by a local smallfarmer or indigenous group&mdash;is from a 18,500 ha collective of &gt;300 indigenous smallfarmers and 2 indigenous groups in the <a href="https://www.cepf.net/our-work/biodiversity-hotspots/tropical-andes">Tropical Andean</a> biodiversity hotspot. Observations of indicators species are tracked in <a href="https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/180473974">iNaturalist</a> for &gt;1 year and all farmers have a 30-year <a href="https://www.savimbo.com/program">conservation contract</a> for shared revenue from sales. We have &gt;10 indigenous groups in 9 countries in our pipeline in either biodiversity hotspots or IUCN-threatened ecosystems and anticipate providing 178M credits to the global conservation market in the next 5 years. We anticipate certification of our biodiversity credits in October 2023 and are currently accepting letters of intent or presales.
