Built to restore,
designed to scale

Going beyond carbon - restoring ecosystems with stakeholder alignment, structure, technology, and lasting care.

Our approach

Problem

Misaligned stakeholders, broken outcomes

Regeneration only works when every stakeholder is fully invested. When alignment breaks, projects stall, and impact is lost.

The Thryve Way

Stakeholders at the core

Regeneration succeeds only when every stakeholder sees clear value and is fully engaged.
‍

Problem

Ecology, a secondary concern

Most climate solutions focus only on carbon, ignoring the planetary systems that drive resilience and enable life to thrive.

The Thryve Way

Nature-first solutions for climate and biodiversity

Restoring ecosystems beyond carbon - to nurture biodiversity, water cycles, and soil health.

Problem

Execution without structure

Passion alone isn’t enough. Without governance and structured execution, even the best-intended projects falter.

The Thryve Way

Delivering with rigor

Structured execution, governance, and risk frameworks for predictable, high-impact delivery.

Problem

A culture of compromise

Excellence is often treated as optional. Without a commitment to doing things right, standards erode over time.

The Thryve Way

Care as the standard

Excellence in the details - how we work, how we treat people, and the choices we make.

Problem

Unscalable status quo

The scale of restoration needed far exceeds what today’s fragmented, slow-moving efforts can deliver.

Technology, systems, and execution designed for transparency, repeatability, and scale.

Our process

Our nature-first and place-based approach guides the entire carbon project lifecycle - from origination through development to implementation - ensuring not only optimal carbon sequestration but also ecological integrity, biodiversity improvement, and community impact at every stage.

Evaluation and zonation

To broadly assess high-potential carbon project areas that also deliver meaningful biodiversity and community co-benefit, we use our in-house GIS suite – leveraging global datasets – together with an automated pipeline approach, allowing us to quickly identify areas that require protection or are more suitable for restoration.

Preliminary analysis

We assess each project opportunity in further detail to confirm compliance with carbon market requirements and go deeper into biodiversity and community impact assessments to ensure they meet established standards.

This includes land tenure checks; conducting in-house, project-level land-use land-cover (LULC) and biomass analyses; selecting the appropriate standard and methodology; quantifying the carbon potential; and conducting rigorous checks for additionality, permanence, and leakage.

Feasibility analysis

We conduct a comprehensive feasibility study to confirm the preliminary findings across all project aspects – including land suitability, carbon potential, legal compliance, operational and financial viability, and co-benefits impact.

This relies heavily on data gathered during field visits, where we run stakeholder engagements with local farmers and government officials, carry out socio-economic surveys, collect field measurements, and perform biodiversity surveys.

Project design

We design tailored interventions that integrate local expert knowledge, deep stakeholder engagement, and climate science to ensure our designs incorporate best practices for soil health, water management, and biodiversity recovery while optimizing carbon sequestration.

We place Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) at the core of farmer onboarding, focusing on capturing farmers’ preferences to inform species selection and planting design, and aligning activities with their livelihood priorities.

Contracting

We establish mutually beneficial agreements with landowners and implementation partners that clearly articulate carbon rights and fair benefit-sharing principles, providing transparency and aligning project goals with stakeholder needs.

Our contracts outline roles, responsibilities, and outcomes in detail, nurturing strong partnerships that ensure both project success and carbon permanence.

Piloting

Before scaling restoration efforts, we run small-scale pilots to test our project designs and implementation plan under real-world conditions while serving as model plots to evangelize the project during farmer onboarding.

These pilots enable us to refine our approach, validate carbon estimation models, address unforeseen challenges, and ensure that full-scale implementation will run effectively.

Nursery management

We oversee the production of saplings in carefully vetted nurseries, ensuring high-quality seedlings for carbon project implementation.
‍
We focus on multi-species planting schemes, relying on a combination of native species that maximize carbon sequestration and enhance ecosystem services, with careful attention to genetic diversity and local adaptation to ensure resilience to climate impacts.

Scale-up

Once the pilot phase demonstrates success, we scale up planting activities following best-in-class project management practices.

We collaborate with a network of credible field partners and nurseries, leveraging our dedicated tech platform and mobile field apps to effectively onboard farmers. This approach ensures accurate data collection, efficient consent management, and real-time tracking of farmer participation.

Additionally, we provide farmers with comprehensive training on pre- and post-planting measures, equipping them with skills for soil preparation, planting techniques, and ongoing monitoring and maintenance.

D-MRV

Throughout the project lifetime, we rigorously track and verify carbon sequestration, biodiversity and community impact through our custom built, compliant D-MRV (digital monitoring, reporting and verification) system.

This system includes our in-house remote-sensing analysis to measure key metrics, such as biomass, canopy cover, survival rates and biodiversity. The data is then integrated to quantify additionality, monitor carbon sequestration, and measure leakage, and is made available transparently to all key stakeholders.

In addition, our system enables us to manage and de-risk ongoing projects by tracking natural risks like fire, flood, and deforestation in real time.

Our tech

High-fidelity LULC

To deliver highly localized, high-fidelity land-use and land-cover (LULC) data, we leverage advanced satellite imagery, local ground-truth data, and a cutting-edge ensemble of classification models, including random forests, gradient boosting, and deep neural networks.

This enhanced accuracy not only captures critical local nuances - precisely distinguishing between grasslands, croplands, and both degraded and intact forests - but also adds confidence and robustness to our eligibility checks and project design.

Moreover, it enables us to delineate and zone project activities more effectively, ensuring optimal allocation for interventions like agroforestry and restoration in ARR-eligible areas.

Dynamic baseline monitoring

We employ a dynamic baseline methodology to accurately assess additionality and monitor carbon sequestration in ARR projects under leading standards like Verra’s VM0047.

By meticulously selecting control plots from a donor pool within 100 km of the project site and conducting rigorous statistical analysis of the stocking index, we ensure each control plot closely mirrors the project plot’s characteristics.

This approach isolates the true impact of restoration activities - enabling a more precise measurement of carbon gains over time and reinforcing the credibility of project outcomes.

AI-powered due diligence

The easier way for investors to access all project materials and get answers to questions in real time.

No more hours wasted searching for the key assumptions that underpin the carbon and financial models, or understanding the project's additionality rationale.

We dynamically select the best LLMs for each task, automate complex workflows and present the synthesized outputs to investors in a streamlined manner, while still maintaining human oversight to ensure data integrity.
