We’re thrilled to announce the execution of the largest known carbon dioxide removal credit transaction to date, according to MSCI Carbon Markets data, which will provide 8 million nature-based carbon removal credits to Microsoft through 2043 from our Latin American reforestation strategy. Our CSO and head of the reforestation strategy, Mark Wishnie, says it best, “From its inception, we have aimed to break new ground with this strategy, both in terms of scale and impact. We are proud to work with industry leaders like Microsoft, who are committed to purchasing high-integrity removal credits and retiring them as part of a comprehensive corporate decarbonization strategy. Microsoft’s leadership is helping build the high-integrity carbon offset market. They are blazing a trail that other companies can follow.” More details on the transaction can be found in the press release below, but huge congratulations are due to all involved, including our colleagues at Microsoft and our collaborators at Conservation International. This is the largest known carbon dioxide removal credit transaction to date and it has been an immense team effort to make it a reality. https://lnkd.in/eEUSKxEi BTG Pactual, TTG Brasil Investimentos Florestais LTDA, TTG Forestry Services, LLC, Gerrity Lansing, Charlotte Kaiser, Rodrigo Bandeira, Esben Brandi, Mitchell Kosches, Caitlin Clarke, David Duncan, Carlos Guerreiro, John Hamilton, Anita Keegan, Matheus Moura, Maria Clara Uquillas, David Cassels, Barbosa da Conceição, Cedric Rhodes, Nairam Filho, ELIEZER JOSÉ DE SANTANA, Filipe Pacetta, M Sanjayan, Mauricio Bianco, Miguel A.

Introducing the Veado-campeiro or Pampas deer (Ozotoceros bezoarticus). These species roam the grasslands of South America at low elevations and are currently classified as Near Threatened (NT) by the IUCN due to overhunting, poaching, and habitat loss. Pampas deer, with their distinctive behavior, travel in small groups and stand on their hind legs to reach food or survey their surroundings. This photo was captured by one of our team members during a visit to one of our managed properties in Matto Grosso do Sul. #biodiversity #pampasdeer #wildlife

Great read from Bloomberg on the crucial role that tree farms play in combating climate change. As David Fickling points out, tree farms, often dismissed for their uniformity, cover an area equivalent to the size of India and are essential in reducing our carbon footprint. Tree farms may not provide all the services of natural forests, but they can be critical tools in our fight against climate change. Let’s continue to recognize and support their contribution.

We are pleased to highlight important new research from The Nature Conservancy and Conservation International, which demonstrates the cost-effective potential of natural restoration and well-managed tree farms in addressing climate change. We are proud to collaborate with both organizations as we aim to harness this potential and contribute to meaningful environmental impact. https://lnkd.in/e5n6rJap #naturerestoration #climatechange #sustainableforestry

Check out this video recorded by the TTG Brasil Investimentos Florestais LTDA team during their visit to one of our properties in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Tapirs, one of the many fascinating species that inhabit TIG’s forests in the region, thrive in a variety of environments including wetlands, forests, savannas, and rainforests. Native to Central and South America, these remarkable animals can run, swim, and even snorkel, using their snouts to breathe above water! In this video, the tapir is walking through an area of naturally regenerating Cerrado vegetation, which TIG is managing as part of a 6,000+ acre restoration project in Mato Grosso do Sul. #biodiversity #sustainableforestry #sustainablefinance

#throwbackthursday photo from ~2008 when Mark Emmerson Eron Bloomgarden and I sat down with Arnold Schwarzenegger to discuss AB32 in the early days of the carbon markets in California. He was super engaging, knowledgeable and serious about climate markets, and this was also the first documented photo of my emerging bald spot!

In 2022, TIG and two partners established a new sustainable forest management company in Chile called Vista Hermosa Inversiones Forestales, which means “beautiful view” in Spanish. TIG staff Zackary Chaudhry and Lucas Ribeiro de Melo took this photo on a recent visit, which is as good an explanation as any as to why it has that name! We’re privileged to steward such beautiful places. #sustainableforestry #sustainablefinance #vista
