KEEP THE HERD GROWING

- Help provide emergency care: Expert veterinary interventions, ensuring the team can act quickly whenever a bison is wounded or ill.
- Help foster harmony: Fair compensation for locals, turning potential conflicts into a shared commitment to protect this iconic species.

ACHIEVE CLIMATE ACTION GOALS WITH CARBON CREDITS
Your Strategic Partner on the Path to Net Zero

Using carbon credits can only be justified if done properly. This means credits complement and don’t replace options for emissions reduction. It also means that carbon credits purchased are of high quality (real, measurable and permanent) and are certified by one of the leading third party authorities, Verra, Gold Standard. The program contributes to climate action by protecting and restoring forests, which act as significant carbon sinks. By preserving these forests, we help mitigate climate change through carbon dioxide sequestration from the
atmosphere.
Support a world-class Forest Carbon Credits Initiative:
- Our forest carbon credits are trackable, transparent, and fully certified. This enhances audit reports and ensures compliance, helping us effectively meet investor expectations and consumer demands.
- Choosing our forest-certified carbon credits will position you as a leader in environmental sustainability.
- CARPATHIA-certified carbon credits are thoroughly certified by Verra and CCB (Climate, Community & Biodiversity Standards), guaranteeing transparency and accountability.
- Will contribute to the preservation of Europe’s largest and most biodiverse natural forests.
