What is Community Seeds?

Nature and communities are deeply connected, but climate change and biodiversity loss put pressure on both. Community Seeds is Planeterra’s portfolio of community-led Nature Positive approaches that help communities strengthen livelihoods, regenerate biodiversity, and adapt to a changing climate.

Stronger livelihoods. Jobs, diversified income, stronger local economies.

Healthier ecosystems. Restored forests, mangroves, and coral reefs, and the biodiversity they support.

Greater resilience. Communities better equipped to adapt to a changing climate.
