We use Wild Carbon's voluntary emission offset sales to kick-start nature's ultimate carbon-trapping machines: forests.
Depending on the location, up to 300-400 metric tonnes of carbon can be stored in a just one hectare of mature rainforest. In drier forests, the figure can still be around 250 metric tonnes per hectare over a 20 year growth period.
Many carbon offset programs grow trees but do nothing to help wildlife. Those trees are usually all of the same type, planted in sterile rows - or even worse, the trees may not even be native to the area, or even to the same country!
In contrast, Wild Carbon re-establishes forests using nature's own recipes for living landscapes. Wild Carbon forests are made up of the same rich mixture of trees and shrubs that grow naturally in the forests they are adding to. That way, Wild Carbon forests provide the best possible mix of food and shelter for wildlife, as well as generating the greenhouse and climate repair benefits that we all want.
You can learn more about the places where Wild Carbon is reconnecting forests and woodlands and the wildlife that benefits at locations in the USA, Australia, Colombia, Brazil and Mexico, by following this link to our global map.
