Project lists, status and credit totals come from the Berkeley Carbon Trading Project's Voluntary Registry Offsets Database v2026-08 (CC BY 4.0), which compiles the public registries. Gold Standard details and coordinates come from the Gold Standard public registry; Vanga Blue Forest and Mikoko Pamoja come from Plan Vivo. Figures change as registries update. Please cite the Berkeley database and the registry when you use them, and check a registry record before relying on a number.
