How it works
Our six-step model
You invest in
TreesOfLives
We offer the technology and expertise to support the landowner in establishing a model for the sustainable restoration and development of degraded land.
The forests grow and land produces, contributing to carbon sequestration. You benefit from carbon and biodiversity credits, and local communities gain a better quality of life.
The land and forests' raw materials are sold to buyers looking for zero-deforestation and certified sustainable products.
Profits from these sales are shared between the landowner and the investor, representing your return on investment.
We then recreate this model with other landowners and on a larger scale.
Our Integrated Sustainable Model
Our model is built on three pillars, all essential to our green economy
1. Working with landowners
We provide landowners with the tools and support to sustainably develop and harvest their land. Our team of experts in forestry, agronomy and economics has developed management models that reflect the selected lands' development potential. Each model comprises finely-selected native species combined to restore soil quality while optimizing the interactions between different plants.
2. Forest Landscape Restoration
Carbon sequestration and credits
Did you know that a Canadian emits an average of 18.9 tons of CO2 per year, an American 18.1 tons and an European 7.9 tons? So a 35 years old Canadian has contributed an average of 665 tons to this day.
When you invest in TreesOfLives, you are helping remove significant amounts of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, a portion of which can be used to offset your emissions.
How can you do this, you ask?
Social Impacts
Our integrated approach and actions contribute to attaining each of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. For the communities involved in our projects, this means a more prosperous future and dignified and fair living conditions.
Impacts on biodiversity
The impact of your investment is not only reflected in the number of trees planted or the number of families involved. Planned on a landscape level, our restoration and sustainable development models help improve the territory's biodiversity.
3. TreesOfLives technology
In addition to investing in impact projects, the TreesOfLives fund is linked to our field operations data through an artificial intelligence-based platform. Used by our field teams, the platform combines remote sensing data from satellite images, UAVs and sensors, allowing us to follow the projects' progress in which you invest in real-time. It provides our investors with an unparalleled level of transparency.
Peru as a Starting Point
Our team in Peru is actively preparing the groundwork to launch TreesOfLives investments in the regions of Ucayali, Huánuco, San Martin and Loreto. This phase aims to establish the foundations that will serve to replicate projects on a larger scale in the country and elsewhere.
