Carbon Optimised
Regenerative Agroforestry

CORA is an eco-conscious company dedicated to revolutionizing carbon removal. Focusing on replanting underutilized land across the Pacific Islands, we create carbon-optimized regenerative agroforestry systems to combat climate change.


Our innovative and scalable solutions benefit the environment and support sustainable economic and social change for the workers and local communities that depend on the land.

 

CASE STUDY:

Dylup Restoration Project and Model Farm

The Dylup Restoration Project, a pioneering partnership between a commercial branch of the Papua New Guinea government and CORA, aims to rejuvenate underutilized plantations in Papua New Guinea using certified regenerative agroforestry models. The project focuses on a 2,300-hectare space, implementing best agricultural practices, empowering local communities, and introducing sustainable business models. 

This project will weave social and economic infrastructure development, high-value agricultural produce production, and carbon credit sales into a new sustainable development model for Papua New Guinea. The objective is for Dylup to act as a template for sustainable development across Papua New Guinea, propelling it towards its vision of a sustainable and prosperous future.

 

“We have to prioritize people. Unless you build a reliable business with solid development, you’re only making poverty sustainable.”
