Afforestation and Reforestation in Sierra Leone and West Africa

No matter how much we decarbonize and reduce emissions, we still face a global biodiversity crisis. Using a proprietary technology system called CQS™ that provides unprecedented insights into forest change and carbon capture at the individual tree level, we are planting enriched and diverse native species on degraded smallholder lands. Both mangrove and terrestrial. This approach generates meaningful revenue for smallholder farmers while rebuilding ecosystems.

Not all carbon credits are created equal

The highest premium carbon credits in the market today are always associated with high-integrity projects, particularly those focused on carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and nature-based solutions like reforestation and afforestation. These credits can reach prices far above the average, reflecting their effectiveness and reliability. Our high-quality carbon credits come from projects that meet stringent criteria, such as ensuring the permanence of carbon sequestration and avoiding double counting. Additionally, we use innovative technologies (CQS) for significant local community impact. We call this radical traceability.
These credits are critical for companies looking to make substantial contributions to climate goals, beyond just offsetting emissions. The pricing disparity in carbon credits is primarily driven by the project’s quality, the rigor of the verification processes, and the long-term reliability of the carbon sequestration or emission reduction achieved. As the market evolves, demand for these high-integrity credits will grow.

Protect and Restore Natural Ecosystems

THE CLIMATE CHALLENGE

Global response to climate change reaffirms the goal of limiting global temperature increase to well below 2 degrees Celsius while pursuing efforts to limit the increase to 1.5 degrees.

SCALE OF REDUCTIONS

To achieve this goal, global CO2 emissions will need to be reduced by 23 Gigatons, which requires changes in all sectors from aviation to agriculture. Deforestation and land degradation result in 20% of global emissions and can be reversed through a project like this..

ethics & value

Nature Based Solutions (NBS) including forestry, marine and regenerative agriculture have a key role to play in the next decade creating a carbon market opportunity of up to $30bn by 2030. Based on the 2021 data, the voluntary carbon market size reached $1bn, while the compliance markets increased to $851bn.

Projects we are working on now

Replanting - Mangrove

Nurseries have been established and planting commenced on land deforested for the production of rice, and subsequently abandoned.

Reforestation - Terrestrial

Successful replanting on degraded land. Nurseries have been established for the future planting program.

Conservation

Large areas of mangrove and terrestrial forest is being degraded or under threat and will be conserved by the Rewilding Company.

Our Mission

To challenge climate change by rapidly developing large-scale nature-based solutions that generate benefits for the planet and our stakeholders.

25 + Years Experience

In-depth knowledge and established regional networks across Sierra Leone and West Africa.

Local Employment

Alongside our partnership companies we drive ongoing sustainable investment by employing local people, and small holder farmers.

Mangrove Restoration

Thousands of hectares identified for replanting and conservation.

Expertise in the group

The project brings together significant sector, industry and territorial experience.

Let Our Earth Have A Breath Of Fresh Air

We are committed to sustainable and traceable operations and have invested heavily in rewilding degraded farmland with forests, and the protection and replanting of mangrove along the coastline of Sierra Leone.
Our operations bring together local communities, governments, tribal leaders, conservationists, land owners, scientists, innovators and other important stakeholders to unlock the resources necessary for national and regional success.
Our projects share the benefit with its bordering communities and private landowners. We empower them to use reforestation and carbon credits as an additional income, helping them navigate the complex process of verification and validation. Our carbon credits enhance and restore biodiversity and create a premium product in the market place.
