ValueNature is a South Africa-based organization working to create a new class of nature-based commodity credits. The company's mission is to accelerate the recognition of nature's value by creating a transparent and efficient market for biodiversity and natural carbon credits.
ValueNature's core service is the facilitation of nature-based investment projects. They are actively developing projects across the Global South that are designed to generate both biodiversity and carbon credits. The company's methodology involves using a combination of on-the-ground sensor technologies and remote sensing data to measure and verify the positive impacts of these projects on local ecosystems. The goal is to create a robust and evidence-based system for quantifying and valuing nature, with a commitment to ensuring that 80% of the revenue from the sale of credits goes back to the local custodians of the land.
ValueNature is building its platform on the Hedera Guardian, an open-source toolset for creating and managing digital environmental assets. This allows for the tokenization of their biodiversity and carbon credits, creating a transparent and auditable record of their entire lifecycle.
