About Us
About Us
NatureCo develops and implements nature-based carbon projects for the enduring benefit of people, nature and climate.
We believe bold and innovative approaches are needed to solve the world's climate and biodiversity crisis. A business-as-usual attitude will not get us there. We are at the forefront of new technologies and emerging markets and seek to lead the way nature-based carbon projects are implemented globally. We collaborate with our global partners to leverage complementary skills and build the capacity of local communities, creating lasting social and environmental outcomes.
Our Story
In the face of rapidly intensifying climate change and environmental degradation, our founders, Neil Salisbury and Todd Berkinshaw, identified a growing global need for credible, ethical and innovative nature based carbon projects.
In response, NatureCo was established in 2021. Evolving out of one of Australia's largest environmental NGOs, Greening Australia, NatureCo is backed by more than 40 years of organizational experience in land restoration and reforestation carbon projects.
Our team has been handpicked for their extensive experience and technical expertise in nature based projects, global carbon standards, innovative finance, strategic program design, and community engagement.
Our Commitment to Nature and People
Our goal is to rapidly scale-up global action on climate change and biodiversity loss, while creating enduring benefits for local communities.
At NatureCo, we connect finance and environmental markets with on-ground action, prioritizing relationships and collaboration with our clients, investors, implementation partners, and local communities to deliver innovative and high-impact nature-based carbon projects.
We value integrity, and we have a non-negotiable commitment to equitable and transparent benefit sharing programs with local implementation partners and communities.
Our projects adhere to leading international carbon standards and support the UN Sustainable Development Goals, ensuring outcomes lead to simultaneous benefits for nature and people.
