    I am so impressed with Shauna’s ability to make complex concepts relatable. Forest investment is a new concept for me and I was able to understand nuance and challenges right away. The depth of conversations are rewarding.

    Understanding the societal need for economic return to make enhanced sustainability a reality is paramount. In a world of money, we need to make biodiversity profitable if we want to see progress. Shauna shows us how.

How Symbiosis is Building Demand for High-Integrity Forest Carbon
Q: What are the biggest hurdles for early-stage developers to reach readiness, and how does Symbiosis help?
The main hurdles are achieving the stage of readiness and securing early-stage funding. Symbiosis provides guidance, a clear pathway through the RFP, and a shared platform to access multiple buyers and investors, reducing transaction costs and risk, while offering support documents and eligibility checks to help projects iron out their design and plan before applying.
How Symbiosis is Building Demand for High-Integrity Forest Carbon
Q: What are the key pillars of your quality criteria and how do they translate into practical project evaluation?
The criteria rest on five pillars—conservative carbon accounting, durability, social community benefits, ecological integrity, and transparency—each shaping specific, actionable requirements. Projects undergo multi-step diligence that tailors the evaluation to ecological, economic, and social contexts, ensuring feasibility and alignment with the criteria before advancing toward offtake agreements.

Geopolitics, Nature Markets, and the Future of Sustainable Forestry — with Ross Hampton
Q: From the perspective of investment management and forest companies, is the sector still considered the right place to invest despite turbulence?
