Why Ekos?

Our founder Dr Sean Weaver came to forest carbon markets after a) two decades in forest ecology and forest conservation financing and b) an academic career in the forest dimensions of climate change science & policy.

Our vision is to restore natural vegetation and build climate-friendly forests for timber in landscapes across the country. This includes supporting natural regeneration with invasives control, native reforestation, and sustainable forest management (SFM) when planting trees for harvest. In SFM no clear-felling happens, and it is common practice in Europe, North America.

Our purpose s is to maximise ecological benefits including biodiversity conservation, water quality enhancement, flood protection, and climate resilience.

We design and develop high-quality projects whilst minimising investment risk. We work with local forestry companies and community organisations to establish forests and get you the best outcome.
