Restoring nature, boosting biodiversity and caring for people
The impact we create
We measure the success of our investments beyond financial returns – aiming to maximize our impact on carbon capture, biodiversity and the livelihoods of rural communities.
CO2 Capture
Tropical forests in Colombia can grow up to 100 years, capturing CO2 during all these years. Given the climate crisis, this is one of the most affordable and scalable solutions for the coming decades.
Additionally, Assisted Natural Regeneration will allow the full ecosystem to recover and biodiversity to flourish. We produce carbon credits with the highest global climate, biodiversity and social standards.
Based on our model, each restored hectare removes around 13 tCO₂ per year, sustained over 40 years.
Biodiversity
Around 85% of companies are highly dependent on nature. Therefore, addressing nature loss has become essential for business risk mitigation. Indeed, nature is the only way to fight climate change and biodiversity loss simultaneously.
Assisted Natural Regeneration offers the most effective path to restore native biodiversity, strengthen ecosystem services, and boost climate resilience. In addition, targeted measures such as enrichment planting improve habitat quality for local wildlife and enhance environmental stability.
Finally, we ensure permanent land conservation by registering our land plots as natural reserves.

Social
We actively work with local communities, consulting closely with stakeholders to ensure the protection of their land and livelihoods. Moreover, we have hired several community members, including rangers, environmental engineers, and land managers.
Our social strategy focuses on knowledge and capacity building, economic empowerment, social inclusion, health and well-being, as well as transparency and exchange. Through this approach, we promote engagement, participation, and open dialogue with local stakeholders to better understand their needs and create lasting positive impact.
In addition, we are implementing youth environmental education programmes, facilitating job opportunities for local women, and improving water quality and access to drinking water.
Water
Rivers are lifelines of these ecosystems, providing water for both the land and surrounding communities. In fact, healthy forests play a vital role in regulating water quality and flow, thereby enhancing essential ecosystem services.
To ensure lasting impact, we analyse water samples four times a year. This way, we confirm that we’re not only restoring forests but also supporting the surrounding watershed. By protecting these areas and maintaining hydrological quality, we safeguard local flora and fauna while upholding the well-being of neighbouring communities.
SDG commitments
By delimiting micro-watersheds supplying aqueducts in our project area, we contribute to improving hydrological quality and protecting water-related ecosystems, as well as raise awareness on their sustainable management locally.
In close cooperation with local communities and stakeholders, we create jobs ranging from rangers to biologists to environmental experts. We work with local companies for our restoration activities and ensure fair economic return locally.
We identify land plots which have the highest restoration potential. By purchasing our land, we ensure permanence. Through our varied restoration methods, we are able to capture carbon and produce high quality VCS CCBS carbon credits.
We ensure the restoration of degraded land. Assisted Natural Regeneration helps preserve and increase the habitat and wealth of fauna and flora. Ecosystem are able to recover productivity, maximising the impact on biodiversity.
