ABOUT US

aDryada designs, finances and implements infrastructure-like nature restoration projects (reforestation, afforestation, mangrove and wetland restoration, etc.) worldwide, particularly in the tropics. All are based on three inseparable pillars: climate, biodiversity and local communities. These projects, which generate high-quality carbon credits, thereby maximise environmental, economic and social benefits in the regions where they are implemented.

Our team works closely with the authorities in host countries, in Europe, as well as with leading global financial institutions and major corporations.

aDryada is also a co-founder of the Organisation for Biodiversity Certificates (OBC), which is building a certification framework for biodiversity projects (conservation, agriculture etc.) and develops the associated market.
