Individuals or legal entities that offset their carbon footprint voluntarily or as part of their sustainability programs. In addition, those companies or other entities that are responsible for paying the carbon tax, in cases where they have the option of not paying the tax through credits compensation.
The area criterion is associated with the project’s potential for generating climate benefits. However, this potential does not only depend on the area. In the case of forest conservation projects, this variable is determined by the type of ecosystem present in the project area, the degree of threat to the forest and the effectiveness of the activities conducted to halt deforestation.
For reforestation projects, management activities, the species used and the biophysical characteristics of the areas to be intervened are other elements related to the potential of the project, in addition to the area. In summary, the analysis of each project, regardless of its location, combines all the elements previously mentioned.
It is calculated using approved methodologies endorsed by carbon certification standards. Initially, predictive models are used to estimate the amount of biomass that plantations can reach in the future or the biomass content of the forest to be protected. Subsequently, each time a project intends to generate carbon credits, it must conduct monitoring in the biomass plots. In this way, easily measurable variables are evaluated to determine the amount of carbon capture or emission reductions are actually achieved by the project.
The landowners must be clearly identified (name and identification number), the properties they wish to link to the project (location and cadastral identification number or equivalent) and the person who will act on their behalf (name and identification number). The declaration must state that the owners have expressed their intention to participate in the project and that they authorize the representative to begin the process of evaluating the project and, eventually, of joining the program.
No. They can be located in different places, but they must comply with some common characteristics such as baseline, activities, and management practices, among other aspects.

ISA and its affiliates have acquired project credits to offset their carbon footprint with the support of South Pole. This company is an expert in sustainability solutions and has 12 years of experience with carbon markets, with more than 700 projects developed around the world in the areas of forestry, agriculture, renewable energies, among others.
For Reforestation (AR) projects, the minimum area is 1.000 ha, and for forest conservation (REDD+) projects, 10.000 ha. However, the area criterion is associated with the project’s potential for generating climate benefits, and this potential does not only depend on the area.

Biodiversity support is for a period of approximately one year and consists of three activities: ecological connectivity analysis, installation of camera traps, data processing and analysis, and a final report describing the benefits of the project to biodiversity.

Sí. You can apply even if no jaguars have been recorded in the area or if the area does not coincide with the jaguar’s distribution. However, the objective of Conexión Jaguar is to conserve and restore forest habitats in the areas of the Jaguar Corridor, and in the case of Chile, in forested areas where the puma lives. Projects that combine carbon credit feasibility with location in the jaguar corridor will be prioritized.
Not necessarily. The most relevant aspect is that the project owner can demonstrate the technical, operational, and managerial capacity to finance the project implementation activities.
Between 10 and 18 months, depending on the information available and the degree of progress of the project.
