Qarlbo Biodiversity announces partnership with Treemetrics
Stockholm, Sweden/Cork, Ireland – Qarlbo Biodiversity, a Swedish-based international leader in biodiversity credit methodologies, and Treemetrics, a global pioneer in forestry technology, have established a strategic partnership. Together they are now developing a software solution for monitoring, reporting, and verifying biodiversity in forest landscapes, crucial for issuing biodiversity credits by confirming biodiversity changes.
Innovative Collaboration for Biodiversity Conservation
Amidst the ongoing global biodiversity crisis and a critical shortfall in biodiversity finance, we are taking action by developing an innovative new tool. The solution will combine Treemetrics' expertise in forest management and remote sensing technology and Qarlbo Biodiversity's methodology. The partners are developing a dynamic management system that integrates the latest technological advances in mobile apps, remote sensing, data mining, and satellite communications, specifically designed for forestry.
Treemetrics, operating in over 40 countries, has transformed forest management with solutions that provide comprehensive data analysis and management tools. "Our partnership with Qarlbo Biodiversity signifies a leap in applying the latest in forest management, ecology, and remote sensing to practical forestry applications," said Enda Keane, CEO of Treemetrics.
Aleksandra Holmlund, CEO of Qarlbo Biodiversity, stated, "Our mission is to rejuvenate our planet’s biodiversity. We’re focused on regenerating biodiversity across forest landscapes to sustainably manage and restore these critical ecosystems for future generations."
Advancing Biodiversity Credit Methodology
Qarlbo Biodiversity has developed a biodiversity credit methodology that enables sustainable wood production and positive biodiversity outcomes. By investing in and actively restoring biodiversity in production forest landscapes, Qarlbo Biodiversity creates real, measurable and verified biodiversity impact.
"We believe that integrating this methodology with Treemetrics' technology will encourage other forest managers to pursue nature-positive practices," Holmlund added. The partnership underscores a mutual commitment to environmental sustainability, aiming to set new standards in environmental stewardship and inspire nature-positive practices in forest management globally.
Qarlbo Biodiversity is wholly owned by Qarlbo AB, a family-owned global investment company based in Sweden. Committed to creating sustainable impact, Qarlbo AB engages in future-oriented businesses, providing industry expertise, access to an international network, and capital.
