Life Terra carries out its largest Carbon Removal & Biodiversity Credits project in Cáceres

Life Terra has launched an ambitious reforestation project at Finca Alía, located in Cáceres, in the southwest of Spain. This project, which represents the organization's largest carbon capture effort to date, has seen the planting of over 60,000 trees from 19 different native species across 38 hectares. The initiative aims to restore a previously deforested area, significantly boosting local biodiversity, a key aspect of ecosystem health.

The planting at Finca Alía is being certified through the ASES On-Chain protocol, an innovative methodology that not only issues carbon removal credits but also biodiversity credits. This dual approach ensures that environmental benefits are comprehensively recognized, allowing organizations and companies that acquire these credits to contribute to ecological restoration from a more holistic perspective.

Biodiversity credits, less known than carbon removal credits, are an economic tool designed to finance the conservation of natural ecosystems. Unlike carbon credits, which focus solely on the amount of carbon captured by plants, these credits measure the impact of ecological restoration on local flora and fauna and are designed to protect and promote the variety of species and natural ecosystems.

In a world where biodiversity loss is an increasing threat, these credits offer a concrete way to support conservation and ecological balance. If your company wants to play an active role in combating climate change and restoring ecosystems by purchasing these credits, contact the Life Terra project at carbon@lifeterra.eu.
