ERA Carbon Offsets Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:ESR) is pleased to announce that the
company has achieved a new sales milestone, having sold more than 2 million
tonnes of forest based carbon offsets to customers and clients around the world.



Established in 2005, ERA has become the largest Canadian developer and retailer
of forest based carbon offsets by volume and sales. ERA has developed and
co-developed forest carbon projects that have been recognized with awards for
their unique contributions to conservation and land management. Through these
projects, ERA has had the opportunity to work with organizations such as The
Nature Conservancy of Canada, The Forest Carbon Group AG, British Columbia
Parks, Shell Canada, 3GreenTree Ecosystem Services and a number of forward
looking Municipalities in the Lower Mainland of BC - all whom have helped
establish and promote forest conservation and restoration using carbon based
financing. 


To date, all completed projects and carbon sales have been to clients in the
international voluntary market. It is expected that future sales will expand
beyond voluntary markets to include compliance schemes that are developing in
regional markets such as California and the Western Climate Initiative
jurisdictions, which include the provinces of British Columbia, Quebec and
Ontario. Beyond North America, ERA continues the development of its
internationally recognized REDD (Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and
Degradation) project in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the first concession
based forest conservation project to be awarded in that country. Additional
markets for forestry based carbon offsets are expected to include Australia,
Korea and Japan.


Duncan Manson, CEO of ERA, comments, "We are proud to have achieved the 2
million tonne milestone in carbon offset sales during a period of time that has
been economically difficult for many organizations, so we thank each of our
partners, clients and customers for staying committed to climate change
mitigation through forest conservation and forestry based carbon offset
financing. And while climate policy has become a political hot potato in many
jurisdictions, the positive developments we see in California, Australia, South
East Asia, and even here in British Columbia, lead us to believe that there is a
vibrant future ahead for our industry as ERA develops new projects and explores
new markets."
