Terraformation, an indigenous forest restoration company committed to addressing climate change, has announced the official launch of its global forest management platform – Terraware.
Built by foresters for foresters, this software helps forest groups around the world manage all stages of restoration projects – from site planning to seed collection, nursery management, carbon sequestration and agriculture. A powerful platform facilitates data collection and reporting, and bridges the gap between remote sensing and ground data, providing a clear picture of forest health and progress.
“Deforestation on a large scale is labor intensive, and there has been a noticeable technology gap within the forestry industry. Terraware translates science-based methods for managing and measuring forestry projects into simple, accessible data and actionable measures for forestry organizations,” said Yishan Wong, Founder and CEO of Terraformation “This type of technology is an essential part of the global effort to fight climate change, which is why we decided to make it available to everyone.”
Restoring a diverse forest involves complex and time-consuming activities – mapping out planting areas, obtaining natural seeds, managing children’s activities, tracking the progress of planting, adapting to changing conditions, and more.
Through years of extensive research and experience with real-world forestry projects, Terraformation identified the need for advanced, user-friendly tools to support the entire reforestation process. What started as a seed collection tool has evolved into a comprehensive forest management platform that can be used by forestry groups as well as project investors and donors.
Terraware was developed and tested with key partners, and more than 300 organizations in 60 countries have signed up to use Terraware. Key features of the software include:
- Project Management Tools for Reforestation Teams: Terraware simplifies project planning, monitoring and reporting, reduces administrative burdens, and frees up resources to focus on field work.
- Continuous Reporting for Providers and Investors: With tools such as automated reporting templates and a financial portal, Terraware ensures that all stakeholders have access to accurate, up-to-date information on the status of project, which promotes trust and transparency, and makes decisions better. (Available to Terraformation’s Accelerator partners)
- Survival Monitoring for Seed Banks and Nurse Managers: By providing complete information on plants as they progress from germination to seedlings, and finally to planting in the field, Terraware helps growers optimizing every aspect of their project, identifying problems earlier, reducing waste and lower costs.
Suitable for: Seed to Carbon Forests is the world’s leading partner for reforestation projects
Real-Time Tracking for Forest Professionals: Terraware’s ability to track data from seed to forest growth allows forest professionals to make informed decisions and adjust management practices in response to environmental factors. indeed, leading to more sustainable forests and higher project success rates.
“The feedback we receive from Terraware is invaluable. It not only simplifies our project timeline but also empowers our team to make informed decisions to ensure our restoration projects stay on track achieve their goals.” — Benson Tilya, Analyst and Seed Bank Manager, Saving African Nature (SANA).
Terraware is currently used by forestry and conservation organizations, and participants in Terraformation’s Seed to Carbon Forest Accelerator, a biodiversity-focused, carbon-financed program that addresses the shortage of forest clusters with experience, resources and access to finance to create investable projects. .
Suitable for: Total Power to Invest $100M in US Forestry Carbon Credits
Terraformation recently welcomed seven teams from Brazil, Colombia, Ghana, Kenya, and Tanzania to its fourth batch and is currently accepting applications for its next forestry batch.
With Terraware, investors and enterprise operations teams supporting Terraformation’s Accelerator projects have access to powerful and transparent data, providing real-time insights from the start of a high-quality project, which certified carbon, which helps them feel confident in the success of their investment. .
The software offers plant tracking solutions that comply with the latest carbon standards from carbon certification organizations such as Verra.
