Community-Centered Restoration at Landscape Scale
We develop high-integrity carbon projects through genuine partnership with communities impacted by climate change, combining REDD+ forest protection with ARR restoration activities. Our approach centers on Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) processes and 40-year commitments that ensure both carbon permanence and lasting community benefits.
01 | Rapid Implementation
With twenty years of landscape restoration experience, and a team with more than 100 years of combined carbon and community development experience, we ensure that restoration is driven by community engagement and design. We are now merging that knowledge with robust carbon project standards and methods, such as VCS and CCB, developing a world-class portfolio of projects.
02 | Carbon Development
Technical expertise in multiples standards and methodologies, combined with direct project implementation capacity gives us an edge, allowing full spectrum carbon project development form conception through implementation, across multiple geographies.
03 | Expanding Impact
40-year project commitments create generational change while building replicable models across diverse landscapes around the globe.
Blended Finance for Perpetual Impact
Every project combines philanthropic investment with carbon market mechanisms, ensuring communities receive sustained benefits while developing verified climate impact. This approach creates self-sustaining restoration economies designed to continue for decades beyond initial investment.
