Analysis

The EcoMakala Virunga Reforestation project has a verified additionality assessment and a 20% buffer pool, but faces significant permanence risk from ongoing M23 rebel activity that has displaced planters and caused abandonment of nurseries. The absence of a verified ERR figure, a project-specific baseline, and a 0% leakage deduction with contradictory justifications across verification reports create meaningful over-crediting and transparency concerns. Low extraction confidence across 29 documents further limits the reliability of the available evidence.
