Analysis

The Blue Source – Bishop Improved Forest Management Project (ACR-174) is a 25-year REDD/forest-carbon project in Michigan whose only available document is a 2013 PDD. The project has been marked Inactive due to a missed reporting deadline, and no verification report, monitoring report, additionality assessment, baseline methodology, buffer pool, or leakage treatment could be located in the extracted record. The evidence base is insufficient to support any confidence in the integrity, transparency, or claim safety of the credits.
