Audit Analysis

A VCS-registered assisted natural regeneration project in Antioquia, Colombia with a VVB-confirmed additionality test and a substantial 29% buffer pool, but significant gaps in leakage quantification, verified monitoring data, and safeguards documentation. The project is in its early crediting phase (started 2022, validated 2025) with no verified ERR figures yet, and a notable contradiction in claimed ERR values within the PDD itself. Overall a moderate-quality project with identifiable risks around leakage and baseline specificity.

Red Flags

  • Leakage is only 'deemed negligible' with no quantified deduction, while a stakeholder comment specifically questions livestock displacement and offsite impacts from displaced illegal activities
  • Contradiction in total ERR claimed within the PDD: 219.63 (Jan 2025 revision) vs 1,472,121.3 (Nov 2023 original) — a factor of ~6,700 difference unexplained
  • FPIC status contradicts between two versions of the validation report (true in Jan 2027, false in Apr 2025), with the more recent document indicating FPIC was not conducted
  • No verified monitoring data exists (total ERR verified is not stated in any document), making it impossible to confirm actual carbon removals against claims
