ValueNature is actively facilitating the development of 4 nature investment and biodiversity credit projects that spans over 500,000 hectares across 4 countries in the Global South. Across these projects ValueNature are working on nature crediting pilots with both Plan Vivo in Uganda and Verra in Zambia and South Africa, actively contributing to the development of their nature crediting methodologies, while concurrently developing their own.
ValueNature offers Nature Investment Certificates (NICs) – a 10-year contractual agreement to conserve or restore 1 hectare of land. The funds raised from NIC sales are allocated according to a detailed conservation management plan and budget. This covers the costs of conservation actions, community support and payouts, government fees, and all monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) expenses for the project’s decade-long duration. Nature Investment Certificate holders benefit from verified ecosystem and social gains, which are reported on over the ten-years via ValueNature’s Investor Dashboard. This allows investors to validate their contributions and make claims.
ValueNature and CreditNature are partnering to streamline their credit products by collaborating on methodology, MRV, and project development. Both companies will use CreditNature’s ecosystem restoration methodology and will develop ‘conservation impact credits’.
