The Conservation International (CI) and Peace Parks Foundation (PPF) Herding 4 Health Program (H4H) seeks to monitor existing rangeland restoration sites as well as additional sites identified for a carbon feasibility project. The aim is to establish a Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) baseline in alignment with the Verified Carbon Standard. All sites have or are planned to have various interventions such as improved livestock management and planned grazing. Existing sites are within and outside the southern part of Limpopo National Park in Mozambique. The sampling will be based on standard soil sampling procedures to quantify SOC.
