Why you can trust us By Abaki Beck 6 MIN READIn January, the Yurok Tribe in California bought a 40-acre farm. It also bolsters climate resilience as the tribe restores wetlands, coastal prairies, and old-growth forests using traditional land management techniques. In the past three and a half decades, the tribal land base has grown twentyfold, to a total of 100,000 acres, funded in large part by sequestering carbon. For this work, the United Nations Development Programme awarded the Yurok Tribe its Equator Prize, which recognizes efforts that reduce poverty through environmental justice work. In 2010 and 2011, the California Air Resources Board (ARB) was conducting a formal rule-making process to create a cap-and-trade program.
