Wildlife Works Carbon LLC, founders of CODE REDD, are pleased to announce that ERA Carbon Offsets Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:ESR) ("ERA") have signed on as the first REDD (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation) project developer for CODE REDD, an international campaign to save the world's threatened forests. Mike Korchinsky, Founder and CEO of Wildlife Works and the CODE REDD Campaign made the announcement Wednesday at the Globe 2012 Trade Conference in Vancouver alongside Bart Simmons, COO of ERA.

Mike Korchinsky stated, "It is with great pleasure that we welcome ERA as the first project development signatory to the CODE REDD Campaign. It is appropriate that we make the announcement here in Vancouver at Globe 2012, as ERA is a Vancouver based company that has been an early leader in large scale forest restoration and conservation using carbon as a tool to finance their development. The goal of CODE REDD is to reverse the large scale deforestation and degradation of the world's threatened forests, and ERA's experience and leadership will help achieve this goal, beginning with the Mai Ndombe REDD project in the Democratic Republic of Congo."

Duncan Manson, CEO of ERA, comments, "CODE REDD is an important call to action for the private sector, and it's fitting that we make this announcement with our joint venture colleagues Wildlife Works, at Globe 2012, where private sector sustainability leaders come to learn, network and do business. We are excited to be a part of this revolutionary Campaign, while showcasing the work being done at Mai Ndombe in the Democratic Republic of Congo. We look forward to working with the visionaries within the CODE REDD team and at Wildlife Works."

About CODE REDD

Forests are disappearing at an alarming rate of 13 million hectares per year, (FAO 2010), and are vital to the global ecosystem. The CODE REDD campaign was initially funded and launched by Wildlife Works, but it is an open initiative bringing together corporate carbon offset buyers, REDD project developers, indigenous forest owners, forest nation governments, NGOs, verification organizations, standards bodies, market platforms and other concerned entities to tackle this critical challenge.

REDD is a forest conservation program originated by the United Nations (UN) to help stop the destruction of the world's forests, and is an effective solution that is already working in pioneering projects around the world. REDD projects within the CODE REDD Campaign are required to be validated and verified under both the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and the Climate Community and Biodiversity Standard (CCB) to ensure the project's integrity.
