rePLANET projects are built on 30+ years of biodiversity science through our partnership with the Wallacea Trust, combined with independent peer review, rigorous MRV and verified credit standards.
From baseline survey through to long-term monitoring, our science is designed to be transparent, repeatable, peer reviewed and verifiable.
Every project starts with a detailed multi-taxa baseline of plants, vertebrates and invertebrates across the project area.
Multiple taxa quantification of biodiversity gain, with metrics designed for replicability across habitats.
Independent academic peer review of biodiversity outcomes, providing third-party scientific credibility.
Continuous transparent monitoring with annual reporting and independent third-party verification.
Actively building corresponding adjustments in jurisdictions where double-counting can be removed at the national level.
Independent peer review of societal benefits, validating that 60% of credit revenue reaches local stakeholders.
Most carbon credits meet the minimum bar: methodology compliance, box-ticked, credit issued. rePLANET’s credits are built on independently verified science, with accredited third-party Validation and Verification Bodies (VVBs) scrutinising every project under the Verra Verified Carbon Standard (VCS).
But we go further than required:
The result: credits you can stand behind, with a verification trail that holds up to scrutiny.
Most “biodiversity-friendly” carbon credits rely on the Climate, Community and Biodiversity (CCB) standard, a checklist that confirms biodiversity was considered, not that it actually improved. A project can pass CCB with minimal real-world benefit.
rePLANET does it differently. We use the Wallacea Trust Biodiversity Methodology to generate quantifiable, verifiable data on biodiversity change, so when we say a project delivered a 50% increase in biodiversity over its lifetime, that’s a number you can hold us to.
All biodiversity data is independently audited by the Biodiversity Futures Initiative, a NERC-funded academic peer review body. No conflicts of interest. No estimates.
Every carbon-led project moves through three investment committee gates, from desk review to turnkey-ready. The discipline is deliberate, so investor capital only deploys against projects we have actively tested and de-risked.
Carbon ownership, delivery partners, defensible carbon estimate, country risk screen.
Farmer offer trialled in country, supplier chain built, Verra Project Document drafted.
SPV structured, contracts signed, interventions live at small scale, ready for full investment.
Carbon credits issued to recognised standards. Biodiversity outcomes peer reviewed independently. Social benefits verified via Fair Credits.
rePLANET projects operate on 40-year crediting horizons, and our monitoring is designed for that timeframe. We combine field-based biodiversity surveys, remote sensing, MRV reporting and independent third-party verification.
Every project generates an annual public summary of outcomes alongside detailed reporting for buyers and investors.
Open-source toolkit for biodiversity baselining and monitoring, co-authored by rePLANET’s Tim Coles. Underpins the Wallacea Trust methodology applied across rePLANET projects.
MethodologyThe foundational multi-taxa biodiversity quantification methodology developed by the Wallacea Trust. The framework used across every rePLANET project.
StandardsEU LIFE-funded benchmark of 91 biodiversity methodologies. Identifies the Wallacea Trust methodology as the leading scientific framework for trial across European wetlands.
CarbonCo-authored by rePLANET board member Sir Charles Burrell. Examines why current carbon storage methods underestimate the climate benefits of rewilded landscapes.
Peer reviewNERC-funded peer review of biodiversity credit integrity, governance and scientific commensurability — directly relevant to the Biodiversity Futures Initiative framework.
A multi-taxa biodiversity quantification methodology developed through 30+ years of biodiversity research. It measures biodiversity gain across plants, vertebrates and invertebrates in a way that is replicable across habitats and peer reviewable.
Through the Biodiversity Futures Initiative, an independent academic peer review process that validates the biodiversity outcomes reported for each project.
Carbon credits are issued to recognised voluntary market standards. We operate only in jurisdictions where Corresponding Adjustments can be applied to remove double counting.
Through the Fair Credits framework, an independent peer review process that validates that 60% of credit value reaches local stakeholders and communities.
Continuous monitoring across the 40-year crediting horizon, combining field surveys, remote sensing and annual independent verification.
Our team can share detailed scientific documentation under NDA, including baseline surveys, peer review protocols and verification standards.
