Durian Rambun – Indonesia (Decertified)
The Durian Rambun project was a REDD project protecting the Rio Kemunyang village forest (Hutan Desa) in Jambi. Project activities included enrichment planting, protection of natural regeneration of native species, tree planting and agroforestry improvement.
The project aimed to protect the habitat of many of the local fauna and flora while at the same time improving the soil quality of the forest. Through avoided deforestation and better forest protection, soil fertility improved whilst reducing the risk of soil erosion. Moreover, through sustainable forest management, ecosystems became more resilient, leading to better water quality for local communities and minimising the risk of flooding or drought.
Project documentation
Decertification notice
This project is no longer compliant with PV Climate’s stringent set of monitoring, reporting, and verification procedures, and is therefore no longer certified. This status took effect on 9th April 2025. The project was given reasonable opportunities to realign with the Standard but was unable to resolve outstanding issues or provide an acceptable remediation plan within the required six-month timeframe.
In this instance, the project was decertified due to the project not following the agreed-upon remediation plan (see Project Documents). As a result, the project’s account is closed on the PV Climate Registry, and all relevant PVCs are marked as “not delivered”. To maintain the integrity of the carbon benefits, any PVCs previously generated will be subject to ongoing monitoring for reversals, or retired from the Risk Buffer.
