Environmental benefits

Our project will restore and protect 2,000 hectares of mangroves, resulting in the sequestration of 1.3 million tons of CO2e over 30 years. This restoration will also revitalize biodiversity, benefiting 34 fauna and 18 flora species. Mangroves provide climate benefits like flood control, erosion prevention, and saltwater intrusion mitigation. The project’s environmental impact extends beyond carbon sequestration, contributing to a healthier ecosystem and protecting coastal communities. By investing in our project, you support the preservation of biodiversity and mitigate climate change, making a significant positive impact on both the environment and local communities.

Community benefits

Our project aims to uplift the lives of 4,000 mangrove-dependent residents in the project area by generating income and improving their overall well-being. The restoration of the mangroves ecosystem will create new employment opportunities and enable the community to revitalize sustainable silvofishery practices, benefiting their livelihoods. Additionally, the project will enhance access to essential services, including improved healthcare and education, leading to better quality of life for the communities involved. By investing in our project, you contribute to the socio-economic development of these marginalized communities while promoting environmental sustainability.

Business model

Our business model offers investors the opportunity to make upfront payments for carbon proceeds while providing funding for both capital expenditures (CapEx) and operating expenses (OpEx) at the project’s outset. By participating in this scheme, investors secure allocation and enjoy a discounted price on annual payments for future Verified Carbon Units (VCU) production. This approach allows for efficient financial planning and ensures a sustainable revenue stream for the project. Investors benefit from early access to carbon units at a discounted rate on an annual basis, maximizing their returns while supporting the project’s long-term success in reducing carbon emissions and mitigating climate change.
