flag Tanzanian Maasai oppose a VW-backed carbon project over land rights and sustainability concerns.

flag Tanzanian Maasai herders, including Namnyak, distrust a Volkswagen-backed carbon credit project via Soils for the Future Tanzania, fearing it threatens their land and traditions despite promises of $2 per hectare and 51% revenue sharing. flag Critics, including NGOs and researchers, question the scheme’s environmental benefits, citing degraded vegetation in similar projects and unverified claims. flag Verra, the global carbon credit validator, has suspended related projects and hasn’t audited this one. flag Activists urge a pause, arguing such programs enable greenwashing by allowing polluters to claim climate neutrality without cutting emissions at source.
