Restoring nature to solve climate change.

Pachama’s roots are found in the heart of South America where the rainforest meets the mountains. Pachama’s co-founders, originally from Argentina, were moved to action after witnessing wide-scale deforestation and the early impacts of climate change. Working from the redwood forests of California, they created an organization that combines cutting-edge technology with the latest advances in ecology. Their goal became to take advantage of market mechanisms in order to build a sustainable economy capable of solving climate change and guaranteeing human wellbeing. 

Pachama was founded in 2018 and immediately attracted talented engineers and scientists in addition to the support of investors such as Y Combinator, Breakthrough Energy Ventures, LowerCarbon Capital and the Amazon Climate Pledge Fund. Pachama has since assisted dozens of Fortune 500 corporations in investing in high-quality nature-based carbon credits. Pachama’s work has helped fund projects restoring or protecting more than 1 million hectares of land in 15 different countries.
