REFORESTATION AND CONSERVATION

We are a project developer of nature-based climate solutions to restore and protect forests around the world. Each one of our projects is aligned with as many as 12 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations, making us one of the most impactful organizations in the industry today

Fight poverty and empower women and girls

  • Agroforestry means planting trees around crops to naturally stabilize and boost food production. It helps the rural poor by providing food security and produce to sell in local markets.
  • Sustinere’s reforestation projects place special focus on women and girls because we acknowledge that rural poverty is often most present for this group.
  • Experience has shown that after reforestation, the tree survival rate through forest conservation activities is highest in projects that significantly involve women. (United Nations Forum on Forests, May 2018)

Premium Carbon Credits

Sustinere trades premium carbon credits for corporate buyers from nature-based climate projects that combine high quality with high impact. We guarantee quality by only trading credits from new projects (no historical or old credits) that have been certified under VERRA or Gold Standard, the most rigorous and respected registries in the world today. We stand by the principles of additionality, permanence, no double-counting and no leakage, and enforce rigorous controls to ensure compliance with these principles in every project.  We guarantee impact by having each project contribute to as many as 12 of the 17 SDGs, making our projects some of the most impactful in the industry by advancing social, economic, environmental, health, gender and community well-being.

Our Latest Projects

Choco

The Choco, and particularly in the region of the Alto San Juan, is one of the world’s most biodiverse areas, home to more than 8,000 species of plants and 600 species of birds. In the 2000s, the Choco suffered 60% of the total deforestation in Colombia, mainly due to mining and logging. The project will restore and conserve an area of forest, strengthen economic development and gender equality, and empower children and youth through training in agroforestry and forest conservation practices.
