Inspired by nature.
Driven by science.

"To address climate change, we urgently need to cut greenhouse gas emissions. In combination, natural climate solutions can be powerful tools to draw down the excess carbon from the atmosphere. When done in a socially and ecologically responsible way, the conservation and restoration of ecosystems can enhance global biodiversity and human wellbeing."

Who we are and what we do

We are Earth scientists, remote sensing experts, community ecologists, ecosystem ecologists, Earth system modellers, programmers, physiologists, mathematicians, molecular biologists, physicists and biochemists. While most labs in the world focus on one of these areas, our work is interdisciplinary, identifying the most important questions from different angles and focusing on holistic results.
