Location
Country only The registry gives the country only, so the project is not drawn on the map
The registry gives Sierra Leone as the location, so this project is not drawn on the map. It is counted in the country totals.
Credit totals and status are as compiled in the Berkeley Voluntary Registry Offsets Database v2026-08 (CC BY 4.0) and change as the registries update. Please check the registry record before you quote a figure.
