Qarlbo Biodiversity
The decline of biodiversity and climate change are major global threats. Qarlbo Biodiversity has a mission to renew our planet's lifeline—biodiversity. We invest in and actively manage regeneration of biodiversity in forest landscapes, for current and future generations.
Qarlbo Biodiversity is a wholly owned subsidiary of Qarlbo AB and operates within two segments:
- Nature-positive afforestation and forestry investments
- Biodiversity monitoring, reporting and credit project development
Our goal is to sequester carbon, conserve and restore biodiversity by implementing the latest science to future-proof sustainable forestry while providing market returns to our owners.
Our investment model
1. Acquire degraded land and forests
Acquire degraded land suitable for tree planting, as well as traditionally managed production forests with depleted biodiversity.
2. Restore, protect and improve
Protect natural forests and restore native vegetation. Improve biodiversity in existing forests by applying nature-positive forest management.
3. Create real, measurable and verified climate and biodiversity impact
Apply adequate methodologies for optimal climate and biodiversity impact. Measure, follow up and verify net-impact through independent third parties, with the goal to show net-gain of biodiversity over time.
