  • Permanence: Governance, legal standing and community buy-in support durable forest protection beyond the 40-year crediting period.
  • Additionality: Deforestation risk independently validated through jurisdictional risk mapping covering 19% of mainland Tanzania.
  • Upgrade Potential: A long-term offtake agreement can directly resolve the current market-risk constraint, supporting a pathway to A–AA or higher.
