BCP’s mission is to reduce deforestation in Zambia and make the conservation of wildlife habitat valuable to people. Deforestation accounts for an estimated 15% of the world’s CO2 emissions, and Zambia’s is amongst the highest in the world. Zambia loses forest four times the size of New York City to deforestation each year… that’s an average of 300,000 hectares of valuable wildlife habitat depleted every year!
BCP is benefiting the lives of over 224,000 people through initiatives that include: access to clean water, health facilities, improved schools, education in conservation farming. We are protecting almost 1 million hectares of habitat of critical ecosystems and reducing deforestation related emissions at an average of 3,174,767 tonnes of carbon dioxide every year. BCP employs over 160 people in Zambia.
