Our Vision

GER believes that one of the greatest challenges facing humanity is whether capital markets willcan respond to climate change and threats to our environment by appropriately valuing ecosystems. GER is well positioned to help capital markets meet this historic challenge. Our current efforts are focused on the valuation of avoided deforestation projects and related carbon credits by capital markets. In addition to forestry carbon credits, GER is undertaking research on models for the market valuation of other eco-system services such as watershed and biodiversity. GER is dedicated to protecting all related ecosystems and pioneering in the development of credits for ecosystem services, including:

• Biodiversity Credits
• Watershed Protection Credits
• Other Eco-System or Environmental Service Credits

GER’s forest and eco-system protection projects are designed to play an immediate and long-term part in the overall answer to ongoing forest degradation, watershed and ocean pollution, and the worldwide decline in biodiversity. GER believes that tropical rainforests should be viewed as an extremely valuable natural resource like an oilfield or coalfield, where the substance to be extracted comes in the form of a verified carbon emission reduction credit. Through capital markets and the developing voluntary carbon trading systems, GER creates scalable, sustainable, long-term solutions for owners of tropical rainforests.
