RESTORES NATURE AND SUSTAINS COMMUNITIES
Why Balance
Balance® is a revolutionary system that empowers people, organisations and businesses to enrich the natural world. Our three-pillared approach:
- Generates biodiversity (restoring nature)
- Creates sustainable income (local communities)
- Fights for a stable climate (removing carbon)
Powered by our peer-reviewed methodology, Balance projects are protected for a minimum of 100 years, in harmony with CO₂’s true lifecycle.
Each Balance Unit is an investment that restores ecosystems, strengthens local economies and delivers measurable, long-term climate benefits. Balance keeps the part of the old carbon system that works and is the trusted way of funding verified projects and re-engineers everything else. The result is a new model where biodiversity and community come first, and verified carbon removal follows as a result.
Generating biodiversity by restoring nature
PLANT and PROTECT
Our projects prioritise restoring ecosystems and planting native species that create thriving habitats. We encourage Planting Partners to create biochar as a form of carbon capture and storage that works. We focus on
- Native species: Enhancing the health of local ecosystems.
- Thriving habitats: Supporting wildlife and natural regeneration processes.
- Proven impact: Verified projects with real biodiversity creation.
Social and economic impact
Creating sustainable income for local communities
Balance projects break the harmful cycle of monoculture forestry. They help people build sustainable livelihoods while safeguarding the future. Where there are local communities, our projects are often in remote places, and at least 40% of the Planting Partner fee goes to them. This funding supports regenerative initiatives such as beekeeping, permaculture and biochar. These activities generate income while protecting and enriching the forests.
This ensures communities are not passive beneficiaries but active stewards, earning income, protecting ecosystems and shaping the forests’ future. Over time, these locally owned enterprises make the forests self-sustaining and protect them for generations to come.
In turn, this empowers people to engage in regenerative agriculture, combining economics with ecosystems. We are proud of our:
- 100-year commitment: Forests are protected for the full carbon life cycle, moving away from the faulty carbon-credit model which only protects for 40 years.
- Biodiversity protection: Replaces monoculture with sustainable practices that build flourishing ecosystems.
- Sustainable forestry: Enriches soil, boosts biodiversity, and improves food security.
- Economic resilience: New income streams through permaculture, ecotourism and forest products.
Fighting for a stable climate by removing carbon
Plant and protect: one by one, tonne by tonne
We make sure the right trees are planted in the right places, creating long-term biodiversity and local jobs alongside climate action. Together, we support local communities, create sustainable work, and monitor ecosystems as they recover, ensuring forests thrive well beyond the carbon they store and become self-sustaining habitats for generations to come.
- Native species: Enhancing the health of local ecosystems.
- Thriving habitats: Supporting wildlife and natural regeneration processes.
- Proven impact: Verified projects with real biodiversity creation.
