About rePLANET

rePLANET is a purpose-driven company restoring and protecting ecosystems at scale by unlocking private sector finance. Founded in 2021, we have rapidly become one of the most trusted and innovative project developers in the fast-growing nature-based solutions sector.

Our mission is to restore and conserve vital ecosystems by designing and managing landscape-scale projects that generate verified carbon and biodiversity credits. Central to our approach is a commitment to equity and inclusion: at least 60% of project revenues are reinvested directly into local communities and stakeholders, ensuring ecological recovery delivers lasting benefits for both people and planet.

Backed by significant equity investment, rePLANET is scaling a diverse global portfolio, including:

• Tropical forest restoration and the creation of wildlife corridors on degraded cattle pastures using regenerative practices.
• Mangrove recovery, transforming abandoned or underutilised shrimp ponds while integrating sustainable aquaculture.
• Agroforestry innovation, repurposing stranded timber plantations and replacing end-of-life crops, with set-asides to restore native habitats and biodiversity corridors.
• Biodiversity led projects are projects where carbon funding alone is insufficient to fund the project and an additional biodiversity credit income stream is needed

With projects underway in Indonesia, Costa Rica, Panama, Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina; rePLANET is at the forefront of delivering scalable, high-integrity nature restoration solutions. Our expertise in project development and our technically-robust, science-driven methodologies are recognised globally, positioning us as a leading actor in this critical and rapidly evolving sector.
