Large-scale Nature-Based solution projects

aDryada develops, operates and finances large-scale (> 50 000 ha) nature-based projects (reforestation, land restoration, mangroves, wetlands…) all over the world with a major ambition: having a tangible impact on biodiversity, climate, and people’s living conditions, because the three go together.

To reach this goal aDryada has developed an innovative and efficient business model based on high-end sequestration carbon credits. These projects unlock large-scale investments and generate long-term financial flows for aDryada’s stakeholders and partners (governments, leading global financial institutions, corporations, public and non-profit organizations, local private actors, communities).

As a co-founder of the Organization for Biodiversity Certificates (OBC), aDryada aims to further increase the value of nature-based solution projects through the implementation of biodiversity certificates at an international level.

The Karidja Project, developed by aDryada in partnership with Ivorian company AGRO-MAP and financed by its partners, is part of the National Policy on Forest Preservation, Rehabilitation, and Expansion in Ivory Coast.

In collaboration with local communities, the project aims to revive the Haut-Sassandra forest, more than 85% of which has been destroyed in the last twenty years.

aDryada brings value to Governments, Communities, Investors & Offtakers_

Today, most countries recognize biodiversity to be a key asset: it supports agriculture resilience and productivity, enhances water availability and quality, serves as a source of new medicines, attracts tourism, and, importantly, helps combat climate change. Governments, however, lack funding, covering only an estimated 20% of necessary funds at the international level. aDryada brings them a global solution including:

  • Project identification and management expertise
  • Expertise in carbon and Nature-Based Solutions (carbon credits)
  • Financing

We believe that large-scale carbon and biodiversity projects should actively involve and benefit local populations. The challenge is translating these principles into actions with tangible outcomes tailored for the local communities. Across our projects, aDryada:

  • Considers local people as key partners. They are the most vital workforce throughout the life of the project (from deployment to maintenance).
  • Builds targeted agricultural transition programs to meet local needs on the outskirts of the area to be reforested and protected when relevant.
  • Supports, with such structuring activities, the economic development of the areas in which aDryada operate.

All actions are designed to align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

In a context where companies and financial institutions are encouraged to demonstrate their contribution to the fight against climate change and protection of biodiversity, investors are looking for attractive nature-based projects.

aDryada offers investors a large pool of “infra-like” projects to invest in, incorporating country risk mitigation strategies, a variety of investment vehicles, and high returns. Additionally, the aDryada team brings its expertise in financial structuring and evaluation of project investment opportunities.

A growing number of companies understand the need to incorporate removal carbon credits as part of their Net-Zero strategy. To avoid the risk of greenwashing, companies are increasingly looking for “high quality” carbon credits.

In focusing on biodiversity and working closely with local populations, governments, and certification bodies, aDryada’s projects are generating high quality carbon credits:

  • Additionality: all our projects sequestrate carbon (“carbon sinks”) and thus carbon credits generated are “removal” credits, not “avoidance” credits.
  • Permanence: In addition to buffer zone management, high biodiversity enhances disease resistance and strengthens resilience to climate change. Close collaboration with local people ensures their partnership in protecting the protected areas.
  • No double counting: in anticipation of the future Article 6 regulations, aDryada works with national authorities in countries of operation to ensure carbon credits generated by projects are not double counted.
  • Certification and transparency: all aDryada’s projects are in the process of being certified by internationally recognized bodies (Gold Standard and Verra).
