Rainforest Builder is a specialised tropical forest restoration company operating primarily in West Africa.
We source, finance, implement and operate large scale tropical forest restoration projects, combining decades of learning from the forestry industry with cutting edge restoration science to develop cost-efficient carbon and biodiversity projects at scale.
Our Mission
Our mission is to scale-up ecosystem restoration in a big way, working with local communities across the world to build 1M hectares of rainforest by 2040.
What we do
Restoration
forestry companies
We establish and operate restoration forestry companies in the highest priority countries for tropical forest restoration worldwide. We apply commercial forestry standards to everything from nursery management to silvilculture. The core focus of our companies is restoration.
We invest heavily in tropical forest restoration research, from applying machine learning algorithms to source the best carbon projects worldwide to trialing new and innovative restoration approaches, such as our ‘bulls-eye’ restoration methodology. We have extensive tropical forest restoration trial data in our countries of operation.
Research & Development
Our customers include some of the world’s biggest companies and we work closely with them to develop new and innovative financing methods to fund large-scale rainforest building projects.
Innovative Financing
What makes us different?
Focused Rainforest building teams – we run and manage projects on the ground with our own specialised rainforest building teams, ensuring that we can guarantee project quality throughout the 40+ year duration.
Deep forestry expertise – we apply decades of commercial forestry experience to tropical forest restoration, including nursery management, land preparation and fire protection methods.
Science led – we are building globally leading IP in rainforest restoration, deploying machine learning algorithms to source high quality project opportunities and investing significantly in R&D to determine the ideal indigenous species selection and silvicultural methodologies to drive continuous improvements in project cost and quality.
Biodiversity at our core – we specialise in planting and growing indigenous tropical rainforests, ensuring not only large-scale carbon sequestration but restoration of global biodiversity too. We measure, quantify and verify our biodiversity impact alongside carbon.
Scale – we believe that restoration efforts across the world need to be professionalized and scaled up in a big way. We do this by combining the best talent with the latest forestry and restoration science and technology.
