Silvania, a flagship initiative launched by Mercuria with a $500M capital commitment, is dedicated to nature and biodiversity protection and restoration.

Maintaining the balance of nature and respecting the scientifically defined safe limits is essential for preserving Earth’s vital systems and sustaining humanity.

Our goal is to invest in the power of nature to mitigate climate change while delivering significant biodiversity and social benefits and in support of the delivery of the Paris Agreement goals and the UN 30×30 Initiative.

We are combining cutting-edge science, innovation and business solutions to scale ecological protection and restoration, benefitting biodiversity and local workforces, while delivering sustainable financial returns.

Our investments cover many different sectors around the world.

At our core lies unparalleled expertise in the global carbon markets and investment. We are a leading carbon trader and project developer, specializing in high-integrity nature projects worldwide. We are able to leverage an extensive global footprint that provides us with in-depth knowledge of multiple jurisdictions, markets, and local contacts, ensuring we can navigate and operate effectively in diverse environments. Our team comprises leading experts in legal, finance, compliance, risk, investment, and marketing.

We leverage cutting-edge remote sensing and satellite imagery technology to enhance our project development and monitoring capabilities. We have built a strong reputation as a trusted partner with an ability to execute and deliver across varying market conditions that is backed by a robust business track record and significant growth through multiple global cycles.

This combination of market expertise, global reach, strong reputation, execution capacity, and technical prowess sets us apart and provides the ability to build sustainable businesses protecting and restoring nature.

Our platform is built on unrivaled access to expertise and strategic partnerships with some of the world’s leading NGOs in nature and conservation.

These collaborations provide us with on-the-ground resources, credibility, and access to additional UN funding and government support, ensuring our projects are both impactful and sustainable.

We stay at the forefront of scientific advancements by working closely with world-renowned universities and laboratories. These collaborations enable us to accelerate nature restoration and protection through cutting-edge technologies such as advanced satellite imaging, bio-acoustics, and innovative forest planting architecture and design.

Since being established in 2023, Silvania has been building a diversified portfolio across critical eco-systems at scale.

Investments have already been made across the key biomes and areas of vulnerable biodiversity, with significant deployment of capital to conserve an area of 29 million hectares to date and a strong pipeline of new projects is in development.

Our projects and initiatives are at the forefront of integrating nature-based solutions with innovative market mechanisms to drive sustainable development. By leveraging the potential of carbon credits, sustainable forestry, and biodiversity credits, we aim to create significant environmental and economic value. Our focus on improved asset management enhances ecological performance, while our collaboration with governments supports biodiversity incentives and conservation efforts. Together, these initiatives reflect our commitment to balancing ecological integrity with economic growth, establishing a foundation for a more sustainable future.

Our map showcases some of the regions where we are both actively engaged in preserving some of the world’s most significant biomes. From lush rainforests to expansive grasslands, these regions highlight our commitment to preserving biodiversity and fostering sustainable development as we advance projects at various stages, from live and active initiatives to emerging opportunities.

With our current focus on these critical regions, we aim to address both local and global environmental challenges through impactful, nature-based solutions.
