WE PRESERVE ECOSYSTEM SERVICES AND PLACE ECONOMIC VALUE ON THEM FOR THE BENEFIT OF SOCIETY

Ecosystem services are the many and varied services that are provided by the natural environment for the benefit and enjoyment of humans. Plants clean air and filter water, bacteria decompose wastes, bees pollinate flowers, and tree roots hold soil in place to prevent erosion. The provision of food and fuel wood, tourism, and shelter for animals is yet another benefit of the ecosystem services available to humans. We actively engage in the assessment and economic valuation of ecosystem services to enhance their conservation and preservation.

Valuation, and Assessment of Ecosystem services

Ecosystem service is any positive benefit that wildlife or ecosystems provide to people. The benefits can be direct or indirect—small or large. We analyze the impact of human actions on ecosystems and the benefits of the services provided by ecosystems for human well-being.

Our valuation of ecosystem services focus on the four major categories of ecosystem services: provisioning, regulating culture/recreation, and supporting services.

Reclamation, Remediation, and, Restoration (3R)

Remediation involves the containment, removal, or stabilization of contaminants from soil, groundwater, and vapor. Reclamation involves the physical reconstruction of soils and terrain on a disturbed site to achieve equivalent land use capability as to what existed before the disturbance. 

we deploy the best technologies to restore ecosystems and landscapes to their former natural state for the benefit and well-being of humans. 

Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation

We work with communities to build their resilience and capacity to adjust to the current and future effects of climate change (Adaptation). Then we focus on implementing mitigation measures as a means of making the impacts of climate change less severe by preventing or reducing the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) into the atmosphere, thus, reducing their contribution to climate change. We empower communities towards the sustainable utilization of environmental resources such as woodlots, agroecology, energy, and water conservation.
