Description
Description | A carbon credit scheme in northern Tanzania run by Volkswagen partner Soils for the Future Tanzania (SftFTZ) offers local Maasai money to keep their cattle on a strict rotational grazing scheme to promote longer grass growth and increased carbon capture. The scheme covers the districts of Longido and Monduli, spanning 16,000 square kilometres. The project aims to generate carbon credits to offset Volkswagen's factory emissions, with 51% of the value of credits promised to the local community. However, the scheme faces criticism and suspicion from locals and NGOs, who question its environmental benefits and potential impacts on the Maasai way of life. |
