This is the first REDD+ Project in Ecuador, that goes alongside with another Ecuadorian and worldwide unique project, the Yasuni ITT initiative, to maintain non exploited oil reserves of the area in which lies the Yasuni National Park and their areas of influence; This project has raised more than US $ 300 million for works and activities that avoid deforestation and the corresponding emissions in case the oil were exploited and commercialized.

The REDD + MNE project is being developed in the framework of an inter-institutional cooperation action between the MNE and the Ecuadorian Ministry of Environment, who is also conducting methodological and technical advice in the process. This process is expected to achieve the highest quality of technical social and biodiversity certifications, using VCS and Climate Community and Biodiversity standards, CCBA.
