Story

WildCarbon works with indigenous communities in the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve of south India to remove Lantana camara, the world’s most invasive plant, and convert it into biochar. This process sequesters carbon, restores biodiversity, enriches soil and reduces human-wildlife conflict. We create sustainable livelihoods by combining traditional ecological knowledge with cutting-edge DMRV tools to verify measurable climate and ecological impacts of forest restoration with native plants and shrubs
