Indian Land Tenure Foundation (ILTF), through the National Indian Carbon Coalition (NICC) and their partners, bring a cutting-edge approach to tribal working lands conservation that is respectful of traditional values, principles, practice, and cultural sovereignty. The primary objective is to apply carbon offset development methodology that brings dramatic benefit to the environmental, social, economic, and overall community well-being of participating tribes; a quadruple bottom line approach – 4XBL.
