This paper presents summary results from an analysis of 192 human-induced regeneration (HIR) projects, using recently released carbon estimation area (CEA) data and the Carbon Integrity Explorer. The results show that, across the 3.4 million hectares where forest is supposedly regenerating, forest cover only increased by 1.6%. There was no net increase in forest cover across more than 98% of the area included in the assessed CEAs. The results confirm that the vast majority of HIR projects that have been credited to date have resulted in very little (and often negative) tree cover change, and that most of the change that has occurred is likely to be attributable to seasonal variability rather than the project activities.
