ABOUT US

aDryada designs, finances and implements large-scale nature restoration projects (reforestation, afforestation, mangrove and wetland restoration, etc.) (> 50,000 ha) worldwide, particularly in the tropics. All are based on three inseparable pillars: climate, biodiversity and local communities. These projects, which generate high-quality carbon credits, thereby maximise environmental, economic and social benefits in the regions where they are implemented.

Our team works closely with the authorities in host countries, as well as with leading global financial institutions and major corporations.

aDryada is also a co-founder of the Organisation for Biodiversity Certificates (OBC). This association aims to create biodiversity certificates and develop the associated market, in order to better promote nature-based projects that prioritise the conservation or restoration of biodiversity… and thereby play a full part in achieving the Kunming/Montreal targets.
