ABOUT MOZBAN

Mozban holds a long-term lease on several parcels in Southern Mozambique Inhambane province covering a total area of 30,960 hectares. This area is used for extensive cattle ranching on semi-natural, degraded dry forest with grasslands (savannah), which could become a conservation & Sustainable Agricultural Land Management (SALM) project. The project owner has a management team on the ground and other land holdings in Southern Mozambique. This experience and other land holdings provide the potential opportunity for a diversified investment in carbon, agroforestry, and other project activities beyond cattle grazing. The project has the potential to be a grouped project and expand in future instances to further grazing areas.
