Analysis

The Alto Mayo Conservation Initiative is a long-running VCS ALM soil-carbon project in Peru with a confirmed barrier additionality test, a 10% buffer pool, and no reported reversal events. However, the project-specific baseline, a 0% leakage deduction with inconsistent justification across documents, and 22 material findings (all subsequently addressed) introduce moderate risk. The project over-delivered relative to its ex-ante estimate for the monitored period, which is a positive signal for claim conservatism.
