A new study using multi-scale lidar technology revealed that miombo woodlands in Mozambique store 1.5 to 2.2 times more carbon than previously estimated. "The implications of these findings reverberate across science, policy, finance, and business. If our current understanding of the carbon stored in nature is potentially biased downwards, this will lead to the undervaluation of forest protection and restoration efforts, hindering progress towards global climate goals."-Sylvera #groundbreakingresearch #carbon #technology #conservation #forestprotection #CTA #data Javier Ruiz-Ramos Christopher Philipson Albert Gallon de Aguiar Juan Chang Dr. Leonardo Sáenz Sunarto Sunarto https://lnkd.in/g8utKAzK

This report is a fascinating read. Some really important research which hopefully will pave the way for helping better monetise the carbon that rewilding produces. It’s not the ‘answer’ for many landowners but rewilding schemes should be properly rewarded for the very important ecosystem services that they provide.
🌿Landmark report demonstrates impressive carbon sequestration potential of rewilding 🍃 Rewilding is known for the amazing biodiversity uplift it creates, but what about its role in fighting climate change? How much carbon does rewilding actually sequester? That is the question Nattergal Ltd, Arup and Knepp Estate together with our research partners Queen Mary University of London, Treeconomy and Agricarbon wanted to answer. We used a range of data capture techniques including LiDAR scanning, drones, Structure-from-Motion photogrammetry and soil carbon audits, to fill the data gaps around the wider climate benefits of the dynamic habitat mosaics and soil health recovery that emerge through rewilding. The results? Nattergal's Head of Natural Capital Ivan de Klee sums it up - 'the carbon sequestration rate at Knepp has been at least 5.20tCO2e/ha/yr over the past 20 years, which is a similar magnitude to those estimated by the Woodland Carbon Code’s calculator for a new native woodland (6.05 tCO2e/ha/yr). These figures remain conservative as recent and further research by Oxford University points to a high volume of biomass in the roots of browsed trees and shrubs, a pool of carbon not included in this report.' To have this data is incredibly exciting, it will enable carbon driven investment into a much greater diversity of nature-based solutions, and will help to scale the business case for ecosystem restoration. We have to keep filling these data gaps to create high integrity nature markets! A huge congrats to everyone who made the project happen 🙌 Ivan de Klee Lottie Trewick Matthew Hay Amy Carroll Read the report here : https://lnkd.in/emRVYvdm

🌍 Unlocking the Potential of LiDAR for Carbon Stock Reporting 🌳 In the fight against climate change, accurate reporting of carbon stocks and forest biomass is crucial. However, one major barrier facing carbon developers is the high cost of conducting LiDAR surveys. These costs often deter many from leveraging this powerful technology, leading to less precise data and, consequently, less effective climate action. Governments around the world have an incredible opportunity to step in and make a difference. By creating comprehensive, high-density LiDAR datasets and making them accessible to carbon developers and other industries, we can: ✅ Enhance the accuracy of carbon stock reporting ✅ Encourage more widespread use of LiDAR technology ✅ Support a variety of industries with valuable data ✅ Promote transparency and accountability in climate initiatives A single, government-funded LiDAR dataset can serve multiple purposes across different sectors, from environmental conservation to urban planning and beyond. This shared resource approach not only optimizes costs but also drives innovation and collaboration. It's time for policymakers to recognize the value of investing in LiDAR technology and to take action. Let's push for a future where accurate, reliable data supports our efforts to combat climate change and preserve our planet. #ClimateChange #LiDAR #CarbonStocks #Sustainability #Innovation #PolicyChange

Business leaders face a choice: do they do the bare minimum on sustainability and face compliance risks, or take advantage of the opportunity for increased transparency, future-proofing their business models and becoming more attractive to investors? The common denominator in making this happen is to turn your data into a strategic asset by unifying your ESG, operational and financial data into one unified data estate. The result is making sustainability your top value proposition with data, analytics and AI. Here’s what several leading Nordic businesses and leaders had to say on how they’ve transformed their businesses to show sustainability is simply good business. Erik Josefsson Andrew Kerr Javier García-Norro Granja no doubt that Green Cubes Cubes is a front runner by combining digital infrastructure with Satellites, Lidar, Sonar and soil sampling to accurately map forests in 3D, all power charged by Generative AI. Green Cubes is providing landowners in biodiversity hotspots with an alternative income stream. One of the most interesting opportunities to incentivize farm land preservation is the multi-side business model of biodiversity hotspots, where the price for “Green Cubes” adjusts based on much biodiversity is measured – all of which requires unified data infrastructures to aggregate, analyse and adjust price signals in real-time.

Today’s Breath of Fresh Air Moment features a fall stroll through Francis King Regional Park and is brought to you by the latest in "Let’s Be Good to Our Planet" news 🌎🌍🌏 : How Japan can lead in forest mapping to maximize climate change mitigation. Japan’s forests cover 67% of its land, making them crucial in climate change mitigation. But without accurate data, managing their carbon-absorbing potential is challenging. That’s why Japan’s public and private sectors are joining forces to create detailed forest maps using advanced tech like LIDAR and satellite imagery. These maps are uncovering previously underestimated carbon stocks and guiding more effective conservation efforts. Even open-source data is becoming accessible to local governments and businesses to optimize forest management. How could your industry leverage open data and innovative tech for sustainability? 📰 Article: https://lnkd.in/giNEG_Xx 👉 Follow me on Instagram 📸 🎥✨: @crackerjackflash #JackGeo #iPhonography #ClimateAction #ForestMapping #Sustainability #CarbonSequestration #OpenData

***Landmark report demonstrates impressive carbon sequestration potential of rewilding*** We are absolutely thrilled to have been part of the landmark Knepp Wildland Carbon Project. Nattergal, Arup and Knepp Estate, together with our key research partners Queen Mary University of London, Treeconomy and Agricarbon, have demonstrated a higher than anticipated carbon sequestration rate on land being rewilded. Using a range of data capture techniques including LiDAR scanning, drones, Structure-from-Motion photogrammetry and soil carbon audits, the report provides pivotal evidence to help fill data gaps around the wider climate benefits of the dynamic habitat mosaics and soil health recovery that emerge through rewilding. The data will enable carbon driven investment into a much greater diversity of nature-based solutions. In the case of rewilding, this means so much than carbon sequestration alone, with the added benefits of biodiversity uplift, community engagement, natural flood management and nutrient mitigation. Head of Natural Capital, Ivan de Klee, who was the project lead for Nattergal and Knepp, notes that “the carbon sequestration rate at Knepp has been at least 5.20tCO2e/ha/yr over the past 20 years, which is a similar magnitude(~86%) to those estimated by the Woodland Carbon Code’s calculator for a new native woodland (6.05 tCO2e/ha/yr). These figures remain conservative as recent and further research by Oxford University points to a high volume of biomass in the roots of browsed trees and shrubs, a pool of carbon not included in this report." The value of these findings for nature cannot be overstated. We are extremely proud of Ivan and everyone who contributed to this landmark research. See comments for further acknowledgements.
