Who We Are
Forestbase develops and implements high-quality, boots-on-the-ground Nature-based Solutions (NbS) carbon projects aimed at conserving and restoring biodiversity and ecosystems. Our approach empowers local communities by creating alternative income sources, reducing reliance on deforestation, and fostering positive social and economic impacts.
We transform conservation and restoration into a financially sustainable model, demonstrating that investing in nature can yield significant environmental and economic benefits rather than being a mere financial burden.
Our solutions go beyond traditional carbon credits, aligning with corporate emission reduction, CSR, and sustainability goals.
