100% Climate Positive
We believe organisations should take responsibility for their emissions and are very proud to be the first field conservation group to become 100% climate positive using Lion Carbon.
What does 100% Climate Positive mean?
Scientists say that humanity must remove more carbon from the air than is being emitted in order to stay under the UN’s global temperature target by 2030; being carbon neutral is not enough. Climate Positive is a step up from carbon neutral; the amount of carbon offsetted is greater than the amount of carbon emitted. Lion Landscapes has gone one step further to be 100% Climate Positive, meaning we are committed to offsetting DOUBLE our carbon emissions. This means the net effect of our existence draws harmful greenhouse gasses from our atmosphere and helps us proactively join the fight against climate change.
Reduce your footprint, then offset the remaining emissions
We believe offsetting should always be step 2, with step 1 being our efforts to keep initial carbon emissions as low as possible. Here at Lion Landscapes, we do everything we can to minimise this initial impact. Lion Landscapes Tanzania has made a massive push to discontinue the use of charcoal at camp. In the past, 6 gigantic bags of charcoal were used every month, which has now dropped to ZERO! Lion Landscapes Kenya also have no charcoal in camp and have gone solar, stopping their reliance on fuel for generators on all but the rainiest days.
