Through his research, Yishan found that native forest restoration outperforms any other known method of carbon capture by nearly an order of magnitude.
Accomplishing mass forest restoration at a global level could draw down enough carbon to secure a livable future on our planet.
But challenges such as early-stage financing, seed supply, and a lack of training slow large-scale restoration teams.
Yishan founded Terraformation in 2020 to create and share solutions to those challenges.
In 2022, Terraformation interviewed 230 forestry organizations across 63 countries to learn about their biggest challenges. Ninety-five percent of respondents cited funding as their top obstacle, followed by seed and sapling supply, then team training.
We created the Seed to Carbon Forest Accelerator to help forestry teams overcome these obstacles and achieve native ecosystem restoration at scale. Our accelerator provides complete support — from carbon and finance strategy to field training and software tools for streamlined project transparency — so new reforestation projects can expand quickly and sustainably.
Carbon buyers who fund accelerator cohorts lock in access to the highest quality carbon credits in geographically diverse portfolios selected by our carbon science and ecology teams for sequestration potential.
