That is How Kenyan coastal villagers are taking advantage of carbon credit

Hewa kaa is a commodity villagers in Kenya’s coastal region are selling to international corporations as monetary incentive for them to reduce their carbon emissions. When asked what business these villagers are in, they say, “We are selling air.”

The villagers are part of Mikoko Pamoja — Swahili for “mangroves together” — which is a development initiative in the Gazi and Makongeni areas of the south coast of Kenya. This pioneering project promotes the conservation and sustainable use of mangrove resources to achieve three goals: mitigate climate change, conserve biodiversity and enhance community livelihood.
