Project Detail

Project Overview

The LFCCC (Lao Forest Conservation Climate & Community) Project is a large-scale environmental initiative dedicated to forest conservation, carbon credit generation, and community development. This ambitious project spans across four key provinces in southern Laos:​

  • Khammouane Province (40,512 HA).

  • Savannakhet Province (148,766 HA).

  • Salavan Province (127,535 HA).

  • Champasal Province (22,542 HA).

Certification

The project will use Verra’s Verified Carbon Standard (VCS)
 

  • Carbon Credit Generation: , specifically the methodologies VM0048 (Avoided Unplanned Deforestation) and VM0047 (Afforestation, Reforestation, and Revegetation).

​

  • It is expected to generate 9.4 million tons of CO2 equivalent (tCO2eq) over 40 years from 89,574 hectares.

Circulated for Lao PDR's
First Forum On Carbon Markets

As a key initiative in Laos’ commitment to carbon neutrality, our project was featured at the Lao PDR’s First Forum on Carbon Markets. In partnership with the Lao Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, we are actively working across a national forest area of over 330,000 hectares, spanning four provinces.

The first phase of this project covers approximately 90,000 hectares and is expected to:

  • Avoid and sequester 9 million tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) over a 40-year project lifespan.

  • Enhance forest protection and restoration activities to combat deforestation and climate change.

  • Open doors for sustainable investment, offering opportunities in project equity investment and pre-purchase schemes.

Our Track Record in Conservation

REDD+ Project
Feasibility Assessment in Laos (August 2023)

From August 14 - 22, 2023, "AVA Trading international", in collaboration with the "Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (Laos)," organized a series of meetings to disseminate the concept of the REDD+ project. These sessions were held across four provinces as: Khammouan, Savannakhet, Salavanh, and Champasak.To assess the initial feasibility of developing a project aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation and forest degradation.  

The team, led by the presidents of both countries, personally conducted a field survey to assess the feasibility of the forest area, in alignment with the initial MOU agreement.

Boualapha District in Khammouan Province is one of our project sites. Here is a glimpse of the city’s atmosphere.

The occupation of Huay Hoa villagers, Tham Lan District, Salavan Dam, is mostly handicrafts.
