FEATURED PROJECTS
Sierra Leone
The continued land degradation in the project area, mostly due to conversion to agriculture, will lead to the loss of characteristic plant and animal species and will negatively influence the distribution of key fauna and flora due to ecosystem imbalance.
Establishing forest cover on this degraded land is one of the main way to address this. 1,400 Ha has been reforested since project inception.

With the first planting expected to begin in 2024.
Sierra Leone
Sierra Leone’s mangrove ecosystems play a critical role in provision of key ecological services such as protection against shoreline erosion, habitats for marine wildlife, and nurseries for coastal fisheries.
Restoring these mangroves through collaboration with local communities is the solution.
Sierra Leone
The Mangrove forests in the Scarcies estuaries have been heavily deforested for fuelwood and rice production since at least the 1990s and these pressures continue. Remote sensing analysis indicates that 82% of the estuaries’ mangroves have been lost since 1990.
Working with local farmers, activity is expected to being in 2024.
Mexico (Yucatan)
Working closely with local partner Compañía Mexicana de Captación de Carbono (CMCC) to restore coastal mangrove areas degraded by road infrastructure that interrupt tidal and nutrient flows, resulting in loss of biomass.
Guyana
Commitment to community engagement is important in Guyana with a focus on local engagement programs with schools, education, and sustainable agriculture practice.
Suriname
Suriname’s mangrove ecosystems play a critical role in provision of key ecological services such as protection against shoreline erosion, habitats for marine wildlife, and nurseries for coastal fisheries. Mangroves also play a significant role in fighting climate change because they can sequester a great amount of blue carbon and are effective in protecting the low-lying coastal land from severe climate events.
Our operations bring together local communities, governments, tribal leaders, conservationists, land owners, scientists, innovators and other important stakeholders to unlock the resources necessary for national and regional success.
