What We Do

Headquartered in Australia with specialists based around the world, NatureCo works with a global network of partners to deliver high-integrity, high-impact nature-based carbon projects in the Asia-Pacific, Africa, and Latin America.

NatureCo provides end-to-end capability to our implementation partners, multi-national clients, investors, governments, and NGOs.

We specialize in collaborative program design, feasibility assessments, project implementation, and all aspects of monitoring, reporting, and verification of nature-based solutions projects, as well as delivering training packages and capacity building programs together with our partners.

what we do

Nature-based Solutions

“Nature-based Solutions are actions to protect, sustainably manage, and restore natural and modified ecosystems that address societal challenges effectively and adaptively, simultaneously benefitting people and nature”- International Union for Conservation of Nature

NatureCo develops and implements nature-based solutions for climate change. Our carbon projects lead to outcomes for people, nature, and climate.

Forest Protection

Protecting high-value forest ecosystems under threat from deforestation or degradation, including REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation) projects.

Reforestation

Tree planting for conservation, agroforestry and silvopasture, as well as natural or farmer managed regeneration.

Grassland Restoration

Sustainable grazing and regenerative agriculture in non-forest ecosystems, including soil carbon improvements.

Blue Carbon and Peatlands

Coastal ecosystem restoration, including mangrove planting and reinstatement of tidal flows allowing natural regeneration, and peatland restoration.

SPECIALTIES

Project Development and Implementation

Our expert team provides end-to-end delivery support for nature-based carbon projects, from early-stage concept development through to project implementation and carbon credit generation and sales.

What we do:

Project Identification Notes (PINs) for early-stage concepts
Project feasibility studies
Project registration (Project Description (PD) writing, stakeholder consultation, project validation)
Project implementation and management
Monitoring, reporting, verification support and credit generation

We do this by working in coordination with global NGOs, on-ground implementation partners, governments, and local communities, and support local project ownership and delivery of training programs.

SPECIALTIES

Training and Capacity Building

Building the skills and capacity of local organisations to manage nature-based carbon projects and operate in global environmental markets is critical to scaling up action on climate change and biodiversity loss. It also ensures that the benefits of new jobs and increased incomes are equitably shared with local people.

Our capacity building program is designed to address local needs and knowledge gaps, and establish skills in carbon project development and delivery, including enabling identification of further projects.

What we do:

Skills audits and training needs assessments
Capacity building and training programs for all phases of the project lifecycle
Develop train-the-trainer packages
Provide templates, tools, and other resources to support the long-term management of projects

SPECIALTIES

Program Design

Specializing in the design of global nature-based programs, we work in partnership with local NGOs and corporate investors to co-design large-scale, high impact programs specifically matched to your needs and aspirations.

What we do:

Country risk and opportunity assessments for nature-based carbon project development
Regional and country, nature, carbon, and livelihood mapping to identify scales and diversity of project opportunities
Investment criteria setting and project pipeline development
Bespoke program design matched to investment criteria and long-term emission reduction goals.

SPECIALTIES

Project Financing and Investment

We connect investors with on-ground projects and people, from early-stage financing for feasibility studies to long-term project implementation funds in exchange for carbon credits, quantified emission reductions for insetting, and measured biodiversity and livelihood outcomes.

We work closely with our partners to build long-term connections and commitments between local implementation organizations and our global network of investors.

What we do:

Secure early-stage financing for project development and feasibility studies
Match local community projects to national and global investors
Negotiate commercial terms to ensure equitable benefit sharing arrangements
Support carbon credit sales and revenue distribution
Quantify biodiversity and livelihood outcomes.
