The PDD describes a grouped restoration project. Its 1,055 ha first activity instance, 2,000 ha grouped aim and 40-year filed carbon model are separate from Planète Urgence’s rounded 1,000 ha programme target and reported outputs.

The Verra record and public PDD, Planète Urgence programme summary and October 2025 monitoring plan were reviewed. Filed commitments are shown as design claims, not verified outcomes. The 41 annual carbon rows total one tonne less than the stated PDD total. Project gallery images are published on Planète Urgence’s CAMERR page; PDD figures remain at their source.
