Forest Carbon restores degraded wetland forests. Our company is a premium ecosystem restoration company in Southeast Asia that delivers benefits for local communities, biodiversity and investors through a proven business model.
Forest Carbon’s team brings a track record of success and a decade of experience, from mapping wetlands and assessing below-ground carbon storage, to hiring local workers and obtaining community support. Forest Carbon relies on this technical expertise and a growing pipeline of project opportunities to secure millions in private sector investment for threatened ecosystems.
Forest Carbon’s Sumatra Merang Peatland Project is now a proven business model for large-scale restoration, with more than 5 million Euro in investment capital raised. Sales secured from major global brands support restoration efforts on more than 22,000 hectares, which reduces the risk of fire, strengthens the rural economy and creates jobs, and delivers returns for investors and partners. This type of environmental and social performance is integrated into every level of Forest Carbon’s operations and management systems.
Forest Carbon is scaling this successful approach by investing in technology with the potential to transform the way natural climate solutions are delivered. IoT Sensors and other monitoring tools enable rapid development of new restoration projects that protect threatened ecosystems, an effort which must increase substantially to meet the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement.
