Our vision for TREEO stems from 8 years of tree planting experience in Indonesia and Uganda where we were able to plant more than 1 million trees together with a highly ambitious team. Working towards this achievement we realized the difficulty of accurately monitoring CO2 sequestration to prove our impact. TREEO is our solution. TREEO collects monitoring data from every single tree, which creates the necessary trust and transparency for small-holder farmers to commercialize carbon removals. This empowers local communities to regenerate the Earth while generating new revenue. We will continue our mission to collectively mitigate climate change!
