- The visiting team spent extensive time with the project developer's management team and staff discussing their capacity, capabilities, and to better understand challenges, plans and strategies moving forward.
- The visiting team and Company discussed the approach to planting, payments provided to smallholders, and contracts signed under Free Prior and Informed Consent.

- An Advisory Committee of qualified scientific experts has been established to provide further input and oversight.
Klimat X CEO, James Tansey commented 'The extensive nature of the site visit by our customer demonstrates the level of scrutiny that is now expected of carbon credit developers. Our approach is to commit to fair and transparent project investments across the region and our technology development team is building a new Carbon Done Right system to support his goal. Our view is that this project is a model for the restoration of native forest across Africa , providing long term sustainable income to smallholders from degraded land.'
