Adoption

Who is using the Savimbo voluntary biodiversity unit and why

PreviousVBCs and iVBCsNextAuthors

Last updated 10 months ago

A good unit, needs multidimensional adoption and we're getting it! Heres a list of adopting partners and how they are using the unit.

This biodiversity unit has been adopted by major certifiers, registries, and multiple methodologies for biodiversity credits.

The unit has been publically reviewed adopted by Savimbo, Cercarbono, Ecoregistry in biodiversity crediting projects, and dozens of participating commodities exchanges around the world. It has achieved significant interest from eradication, restoration, pollination, and agrobiodiversity crediting methodology developers.

We hope it will be equally useful in quantification of impact projects that are non-commercial in origin. It has received interest from international, national, and local governments and large philanthropic foundations around the world. It has been reviewed and endorsed by conservation biologists, conservation economists, and other academic supporters.
