Forest Carbon

Forest Carbon is an ecosystem restoration startup in Southeast Asia, dedicated to the restoration of degraded wetland forests. With a decade of experience in the field, the company has successfully raised over 5 million Euro in investment capital for their Sumatra Merang Peatland Project, which serves as a proven business model for large-scale restoration. Their approach not only benefits local communities and biodiversity but also attracts major global brands for sales, supporting restoration efforts on more than 22,000 hectares. This model not only reduces the risk of fire and strengthens the rural economy, but it also provides returns for investors and partners. The team at Forest Carbon has a proven track record in wetland mapping, below-ground carbon storage assessment, and community engagement. They also emphasize the integration of environmental and social performance into every level of their operations and management systems. Looking forward, Forest Carbon is diversifying its approach by investing in technology, particularly IoT sensors and monitoring tools, to enhance the speed and efficiency of new restoration projects. This diversification is essential as it aligns with the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement and supports the increasing demand for natural climate solutions. With a solid foundation established in 2007 and their current success in securing investment for their projects, Forest Carbon is poised to continue scaling their operations and impact. As a startup, they present an attractive opportunity for venture capital firms seeking to invest in environmentally sustainable and socially impactful ventures in Indonesia.
