Biodiversity Project Officer | Apprenticeship/Long Internship Contract – Full-time – Paris (minimum 6 months)

aDryada designs and implements large-scale nature restoration projects (reforestation, afforestation, mangrove and wetland restoration, etc.) covering several tens of thousands of hectares. These projects are built on three equally important pillars: climate, biodiversity, and improving the living conditions of local communities. Primarily deployed in tropical regions, these initiatives generate high-quality carbon credits. 

The team works closely with the governments of the countries in which the company operates, as well as with major global financial institutions and large corporations.

aDryada is also a co-founder of the Organization for Biodiversity Certificates (OBC). This association aims to create and deploy biodiversity certificates and associated market mechanisms to better value nature-based and biodiversity-enhancing projects. OBC launched its first pilot countries in 2025, in both temperate and tropical zones. It is to generate the first certificates in 2027.
