Project Developer Training & Certification
We need to deploy the Wilder Carbon solution at scale and our ambition is to make this possible by arming our network of Trusted Deliverers, Project Developers and Responsible Bodies with the tools to advise third party landowners on how to integrate nature based solutions into their management practice.
Wilder Carbon projects deliver at least 50% biodiversity uplift (except in the instance of the restoration of priority habitat, such as the restoration of existing bog), enhancing climate resilience and the long-term durability of carbon benefits.
Carbon units are conservatively estimated using variable buffers based on data confidence and only up to 50% can be sold upon project validation, prior to verification, reducing over-selling reducing over-selling risk and aligning with best-practice GHG accounting.
Projects can span multiple habitats, verified as a single system — ideal for large landholdings and reducing investor risk through ecological diversity.
Carbon removals are genuine and only sold to buyers actively reducing emissions, with units held on a bespoke ethical registry.
Credits are premium, non-tradeable until reduction targets are met, and sold at a fair price to ensure long-term sustainability for land managers.
Any resale is limited to verified low-emission buyers, maintaining integrity and direct climate impact. All projects undergo independent verification.
