Decentralizing Forestry
We’re a decentralized micro-forestry and climate-tech startup helping companies diversify their CSR,
Create new revenue streams and build sustainable and prosperous African communities by
investing directly in micro-forests and forest dependent micro-enterprises.
SOCIAL CAPITALISM IMPACTING COMMUNITIES.
We partner with small scale farmers and landowners in the most climate affected communities in Sub-Saharan Africa to grow micro-forests serving Africa's $30bn wood deficit and empower communities to start forest dependent micro-enterprises hence improving household income, restoring ecosystems and providing carbon credits for the voluntary carbon market.
Land Owners
We will add value to your underutilized or neglected land and give you hassle-free returns.
We can help you increase your income and create generational wealth.
By providing your land through freehold or lease, you empower your community,
create generational wealth for yourself and fight climate change.
INVEST TO CREATE IMPACT AND BUILD SUSTAINABLE AFRICAN COMMUNITIES.
We are tapping into Africa's $30bn wood deficit by 2030, which cannot be served by plantations alone, leveraging on the climate protection goals and the growing demand for sustainability and the availability of underutilized or unused land from the most climate affected communities in Africa.
Our tech platform enables companies to calculate their carbon footprint and directly invest in climate affected communities in Africa. Every investment is made directly into microforests managed by the most affected population within our communities; these are mostly women who contribute about 50% to the agricultural workforce and only 1 in 5 is able to get a daily wage.
What We Do
Africa faces a $30bn wood deficit by 2030, which can not be supplied by its plantations, on the other hand, there's a ripe growth for the voluntary carbon market estimated at $10-30Bn by 2030. Protectyl is built to scale and meet the demand.
We partner with farmers and landowners to grow micro-forests AND spark forest dependent micro-enterprises enabling us to provide 60% cheaper and sustainable wood and generate carbon credits for companies pursuing their climate protection goals.
Our Approach
We partner with farmers and landowners in the most climate affected communities to grow microforests serving Africa's $30bn wood deficit and provide carbon offsets for the voluntary carbon market.
The Opportunity
While Africa faces a $30bn wood deficit by 2030 , western companies are under pressure to become sustainable creating a $10-$30bn estimated market growth for voluntary carbon markets by 2030.
Our Innovation
We're decentralizing forestry. We're developing a tech platform that will enable real-time forest management and investing in forest dependent micro-enterprises in the most climate affected communities with 60% cost disruption of wood vs traditional big plantation forestry.
Our mission is to be Africa's largest decentralized sustainable forestry company empowering communities by 2030.
Through using technology, leveraging on partnerships with landowners and local farmers, we're scaling faster to serve the ripe $10-$30bn global voluntary carbon market and Africa's $30bn wood deficit by 2030. By joining us, you become part of a movement fighting climate change and building sustainable and prosperous African communities while giving you a high return on investment.
Buy sustainable wood to combat Climate change
According to My Tool Shed report 2019, the average piece of furniture generates around approximately 47kgs of CO2 equivalents, which is roughly the same amount of greenhouse gases produced by burning around 5.3 gallons of petrol.
Join our waiting list of buyers for sustainable wood to help you become carbon-neutral, create jobs for rural women and rebuild your local community.
how it works
It's estimated that by 2030, Africa's supply deficit of industrial wood will exceed USD 30 billion and the voluntary carbon market will grow into a $10-30BN opportunity. To harness these opportunities, we're partnering with local landowners and the community to turn underutilized or unused land into thriving micro-forests to address
the gaps and serve the growing demand respectively.
Landlords provide land, we train Climate Smart Agricultural practices to the local community to provide the skills, labor and security, provide; tools, fertilizers and seedlings designed to grow in the toughest conditions, an innovative tech platform to enable direct forest and carbon offset trading and a ready market for sustainable materials.
We then work with you to understand your sustainability demands and design a carbon neutral investment plan for you to achieve your climate protection goals, create new revenue streams giving you x10 Return On Investment, and empower climate vulnerable communities.
We have a single world which we can't afford to loose, join us to restore natural ecosystems, sustainably manage and re-establish nature as a very crucial way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reverse the effects of climate change while empowering communities.
Acquire Land
We partner with farmers in the most climate-affected areas in East-Africa, forest owners and local landowners to acquire land for our forest and carbon stock. We then do soil testing to determine it's quality and provide species that will thrive best.
Planting
We onboard companies and organizations that want to become carbon neutral to invest in our risk protected micro-forest fund and then grow, manage and protect the micro-forests to restore soil productivity through carbon sequestration which enriches the soils for agriculture while helping forest dependent enterprises to thrive and create additional income for our partner communities.
Empower Communities
Women make up almost 50 percent of the agricultural labor force in sub-Saharan Africa, and are most affected by climate change. We work together to plant trees, practice regenerative agriculture for free on the land to fight food insecurity, start forest dependent micro-enterprises and provide a $2-$7 daily income compared to 1 in 5 women who receive regular wages.
Value Addition
Africa has a $30bn market deficit, which competitors cannot scale to meet, our innovative model can. We provide 80% cheaper wood than plantations, maximizing profit from the global and domestic markets for both climate and economic goals.
our impact
We need you to grow our impact, to be able to plant a billion trees by the end of 2030.
Jobs
We have created over 38 jobs for rural women, marginalized youth, and refugees both directly and indirectly since last 2021.
Carbon Offset
We have approximately planted over 3700 trees sequestering 7tonnes of carbon within 6 months.
Household Income
There has been a significant increase in the household income of the people involved in our processes from $0 a day to $2-$7 through their micro-enterprises.
Regenerate land
We have regenerated over 3 acres of land to become fertile and be able to give enough food and prevent hunger among rural households.
Our vision is to plant 1Billion trees in Africa by 2030.
our team
Together, we're committed to fight climate change; we know how hard it is to find a more beautiful planet than ours! We combine experience, passion and commitment to lead the journey to zero carbon while building sustainable African communities.
KNOW YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT
Without knowing how much you offset is like contributing to the extinction of humanity, we want to reverse climate change and again enjoy this once beautiful planet. Remember that the most affected are the vulnerable populations in the world as climate change comes with adverse conditions such as drought that lead to death, famine among others.
Calculate your carbon footprint below and we'll help you take immediate action.
Offset your carbon through investing in afforestation.
We can't fight the climate crisis alone, it takes people like you and businesses like yours to set the pace towards carbon zero or neutrality by 2030. In addition to a carbon-neutral mark, you benefit from new hustle free revenue streams, achieve your climate goals and build sustainable communities.
