Afognak is the second largest island in the Kodiak Archipelago off Alaska's southern coast and habitat for many species of wildlife, including the great Kodiak bear, Arctic char, rainbow trout and five species of Pacific salmon. The expansive timber industry, however, threatens Afognak and its still pristine wilderness.

The Afognak Forest Project improves biodiversity, water and all aspects of the local environment by securing the existing forest and protecting it as an intact and fully functioning ecosystem. The actual project activity is very low-key and focuses on conservation, restoration and preventive forest management on annually small plots. Beyond the 30-year crediting period, the old-growth forest is permanently protected.

The project combats the use of fossil fuels by installing a solar plant in Ninh Thuan province, northeast of Ho Chi Minh City. Using solar panels to convert endless energy from the blazing sun into sustainable electricity, the plant generates over 77,000 MWh of clean energy that is fed directly into the national grid.
