Rai Matak is a community-led, national carbon farming project across Timor-Leste creating local and global environmental, social and economic change.
It supports smallholder farming communities to grow and manage forest trees on their land, which capture carbon from the atmosphere. This carbon is then sold through carbon credits across international carbon markets, putting an earned dollar in a farmer’s pocket and empowering them to decide their own future.
