• Description:
• Request for proposals are invited for Feasibility Assessment for Herding for Health Project, Beitbridge, Zimbabwe. Closing Date: April 3, 2023 Conservation International (CI), is committed to helping societies adopt a more sustainable approach to development, one that considers and values nature at every turn and improves human well-being through the conservation of healthy ecosystems and the goods and services they provide. Project Overview Conservation International-s (CI) Carbon Finance (CF) unit within the Conservation Finance Division invests in natural climate solutions (NCS) that help combat climate change by reducing deforestation and conserving critical ecosystem services — the services we need to grow and prosper as a society. These NCS solutions include the protection, enhanced management, and restoration of forests, rangelands, wetlands, and other natural systems. These multiple outcomes are achieved through the development of a strong pipeline of carbon finance projects coupled with innovative financing meant to ensure long-term sustainability and private sector participation. As part of the portfolio CI and Peace Parks Foundation (PPF) Herding 4 Health Program (H4H) seeks to undertake a feasibility assessment for the Rangeland Regeneration project, Beitbridge, Zimbabwe. The project will focus on planned-rested-rotational grazing according to the Herding for Health model within communal lands, to assess the potential of registering the project under Verra-s Verified Carbon Standard VM0032 methodology (Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Use).
