EcoPlanetary Jewels (EPJ) is an investment strategy aimed at protecting intact forest landscapes and surrounding forest patches within forests at risk of extinction.
The scientific community estimates that by 2050, about 30% of forest species could be extinct due to their inability to adapt to climate change. However, the reality shows us that the situation of forests threatened with extinction is already far worse than predicted, as the current climate change situation is driving them toward an unimaginable and accelerated risk of disappearance.
HOW MUCH SHOULD BE THE CARBON TON PRICE?
Primary forests are naturally evolved forests that have not been disturbed by humans. They can store 30% more carbon than degraded forests, and the integrity of their ecosystems allows humanity to understand how life works within them. They are essential for designing any regenerative forestry project.
Untouched forests play a key role as seed banks, as habitats for seed dispersers, and as hosts of genetic resources with unimaginable potential. They are more resistant to drought, forest fire, and invasive species.
Virgin forests are traditional lands of Indigenous Peoples, who possess immense natural and medicinal knowledge that we know very little about, and which can make a great positive impact on the future of humanity’s medical sciences.
QD-Sustainability is a firm specializing in consulting and developing nature-based projects in forests threatened with extinction, as well as corporate responsibility initiatives that enable companies to meet their national and global net-zero emissions targets.
