Treemetrics, a global pioneer in forestry technology and Qarlbo Biodiversity, a Swedish-based international leader in biodiversity credit methodologies, 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.

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.

Enda Keane, CEO of Treemetrics said, “Our partnership with Qarlbo Biodiversity signifies a leap in applying the latest in forest management, ecology, and remote sensing to practical forestry applications.”

“We believe that integrating this methodology with Treemetrics’ technology will encourage other forest managers to pursue nature-positive practices,” Holmlund added.

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.

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.
