We specialise in indigenous forest conservation in New Zealand and the Pacific Islands. We help communities, landowners and governments make a living from protecting their forests through payments for ecosystem services.

Our New Zealand work focuses on financing indigenous forest protection through the voluntary carbon market. Our Pacific Island work focuses on policy, financing, and project development in reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+).
