Deforestation is one of the biggest threats to the ecology of our planet. Political initiatives are failing miserably, carelessly misspending trillions of taxpayers' money on inefficient policies and only paying lip service to lofty CO² pledges but in reality making very little progress. We can no longer put our hope in politicians, whose scope doesn't extend further than the next legislative period.

NGOs often showcase great ideological fervour, however, raising the necessary funding to protect forests has proven difficult, thus limiting the actual impact of most initiatives.

At CANVENA, we are convinced that the only way to make a true ecological impact, is by making ecology profitable.

Therefore, CANVENA Ltd., together with its partners, aims to support and massively scale existing, already fully operational sustainable timber plantations in the tropics, turning them into easily accessible and financially viable instruments for wealth appreciation.

There is an undeniable demand for sustainable investment opportunities in timber, if they are packaged and presented in an attractive financial vehicle. CANVENA will soon launch such a vehicle. As we see other assets coming increasingly under pressure from geopolitical and market forces, our research indicates that the market is ready. Are you?

On the ecological and social side, scaling sustainable timber production has many positive effects.

• Off-sets large amounts of CO²-emissions from fossil fuels.
• Decreases the spread of desserts and soil degradation in some of the poorest parts of the world.
• Reduces the need to cut down existing rain forests, saving biotopes for endangered species and indigenous people.
• Improves socio-economic conditions for local populations, creating jobs, enabling better education and health care.
