ERA Carbon Offsets Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:ESR) through its 100% owned subsidiary ERA
Ecosystem Restoration Associates Inc. ("ERA"), is pleased to announce that the
Denman Island Avoided Conversion of Forestlands Project has received final
validation to the Climate, Community and Biodiversity Alliance's ("CCBA")
Project Design Standard on June 27th, 2012. The project was officially posted on
the CCBA website on June 29, 2012. ERA is the first private project developer to
have two separate projects successfully validated to the CCBA standard in North
America. In 2010, ERA's CERP (Community Ecosystem Restoration Program) was the
first Gold Level CCBA project recognized in Canada.


The Denman Island Avoided Conversion of Forestlands Project (the "Project"),
which was first validated under ISO 14064-2 in 2011, is an innovative, award
winning public-private partnership. By completing the Project, the Province of
British Columbia and the private land owner, North Denman Lands Inc ("NDL"), and
ERA have succeeded in protecting 750 hectares of land on Denman Island from
future subdivision into residential and agricultural property. This involved a
land donation by NDL, the purchase of carbon sequestration rights by ERA and a
land transfer by the Province, which enabled the Province to acquire the land at
a greatly reduced cost for inclusion in the BC Parks and protected areas system.



The third party validation of the Denman CCBA project design document was
completed by the international auditing firm Environmental Services Inc.
("ESI"). The Project is the third carbon project in Canada to be validated to
the CCBA Standard and just one of ten such projects in North America.


The CCBA is a partnership of international NGOs that created the Climate,
Community & Biodiversity Standards to enable identification of projects that
adopt best practices to deliver robust and credible greenhouse gas reductions
while also delivering net positive benefits to local communities and
biodiversity. The CCBA members-Conservation International, CARE, Rainforest
Alliance, The Nature Conservancy and the Wildlife Conservation Society-lead the
development and implementation of pioneering forest carbon activities,
demonstrating how effective partnerships and integrated design can deliver
significant multiple benefits. 


Duncan Manson, CEO of ERA commented: "We are very pleased to see the Denman
Island Project recognized under CCBA which completes a tremendous undertaking by
all parties involved including ERA, the communities of Denman Island, the
previous land owners, BC Parks, and the Forest Carbon Group AG and their clients
in Germany who financially supported the Project by purchasing carbon offsets
created by the Project. This marks the first time in Canada that a forestry
based carbon project has been developed and transferred to the government, where
the lands will be recognized and protected as a provincial park. Beyond its
carbon impact, it will provide multiple community and biodiversity benefits for
decades to come."
