The Northern Rangelands Trust (NRT) has defended its carbon credit project in Northern Kenya against allegations of human rights violations, misappropriation of funds, and illegal occupation of community land.
A documentary by an international media outlet claimed that the project, operating under the name Northern Kenya Rangelands Carbon Credit, was associated with incidents of kidnapping, killings, and rape.
The NRT carbon credit project is the largest of its kind in the world.
It involves rotational grazing, which removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and binds it to the soil.
