By supporting the preservation of mature biodiverse forests under high risk of destruction, your company will make a measurable contribution toward Sustainable Development Goals 13 and 15.
SDG 13: Climate action to take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.
SDG 15: Life on land to protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, halt and reverse land degradation, and halt biodiversity loss.
You’ll receive a Contribution Certificate with the number of hectares supported over a year in a specific area and describes the environmental characteristics (Biodiversity Intactness Index, vulnerable or threatened species, and average annual carbon flux) of the forest plot.

Humans depend on a healthy planet. Sadly, human activities are causing unprecedented environmental changes, leading to a lack of resources, rising temperatures, and dying lifeforms. Science affirms we've already crossed the safe operating limits for a livable Earth.
Given the urgency of the looming crisis, companies are challenged to think and act beyond offsetting and set holistic nature-related goals, including biodiversity. Single.Earth helps you contribute to broader global net zero targets rather than relying on offsetting one's emissions only. Nature-positive contributions can be an integral and regular part of your environmental efforts.
31% of the Earth is covered in forests – the best technology nature has for locking away carbon while providing habitat to diverse species.
Protecting existing forests that are likely threatened by destruction or land conversion is one of the most cost-effective, immediate, scalable, and proven solutions to the twin crises of climate change and biodiversity loss.
Make a local contribution by supporting European landowners while also reaching the lungs of Earth in Amazon Brazil.
Single.Earth works with landowners, managers, and organizations who commit to preserving nature. Instead of harvesting and destroying healthy ecosystems, landowners get a regular financial support for allowing their forests to grow.
Our science team uses satellite data, geospatial engineering, and machine learning to represent nature with a Global Digital Twin. The model allows us to automatically assess each plot of land for its forest coverage, biodiversity, and carbon sequestration.
Based on ecological values, tokens are issued to landowners as long as the forest stays intact. Using blockchain technology, we can connect money with nature and create MERIT. If we detect unreconciled clearcutting or land conversion, we cease minting.
Businesses can use MERIT to make a nature-positive contribution by “burning” tokens and receiving a Contribution Certificate in return. It's also possible to buy MERIT as a virtual asset to trade and use in the future. Both business contributors and token holders contribute to building the world’s first nature-backed economy that values living nature.
