How We Pick our Projects
We scour the earth to find the most exciting carbon offsetting projects operating today following a rigorous scientific methodology.
Our projects exceed the highest scientific standards in the industry and have impacts far beyond just carbon. Our rigorous selection policy and due diligence mean your money makes a real difference.
Every Koobi project is located in a global priority area for wildlife conservation. We mapped these ourselves and published the science in the world’s top journals, including nature.
We only work with ‘premium’ carbon credit projects. A carbon credit is equal to one tonne of carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere. But with premium credits, the way carbon dioxide is removed delivers wider environmental benefits. For example, reforesting a wildlife migratory corridor makes an important contribution to conservation while also capturing carbon in trees.
The money from selling carbon credits also supports sustainable development in local communities in the project area, and further conservation efforts such as anti-poaching patrols.
Scientific rigour and transparency are Koobi’s heart. Our projects must be certified by international standards such as the Verified Carbon Standard (Verra) and the Climate, Community & Biodiversity standards which verify their credibility.
Koobi projects must meet
the following four standards
Follow global best practice on ethically running projects
Have scientifically rigorous methods for calculating carbon credits
Are independently audited for quality and transparency
Located in global priority areas for wildlife conservation.

Located in global priority areas for wildlife conservation.
We also do our own project audit so you can be confident your credits are genuinely removing carbon from the atmosphere and saving wildlife.
Last but not least, we only work with like-minded people who are in this for the right reasons.
If a project ticks these boxes then it is a Koobi project: the cream of the premium carbon credit world.
