TIG will deliver the carbon dioxide removal credits from its $1 billion The Restoration Fund (TRF) project in Latin America, which focuses on conservation, restoration, and planting of deforested lands in critical biomes like the Cerrado in Brazil — one of the most biodiverse ecosystems in the world facing increasing rates of deforestation. With the global environmental nonprofit Conservation International serving as an Impact Advisor, TIG will be protecting and restoring over 330,000 acres of natural forests.

"As the largest known carbon dioxide removal credit transaction to date, our purchase from The Restoration Fund project is heralding a new era for climate action that removes carbon at scale while restoring degraded tropical forests, enhancing biodiversity, and contributing to local livelihoods."
