LehmanBush provide carbon finance to local communities, private landowners, and other Partners. This includes nature-based solutions (NbS) which are actions that protect, manage, and sustainably restore the natural ecosystem, along with supporting the social development goals in achieving human well-being as well as biodiversity benefits. Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+), climate-smart forestry, regenerative agriculture, restoring wetlands, and coastal habitat restoration are key initiatives that enable natural processes which lead to fewer greenhouse gas emissions from entering the atmosphere. These activities are most seen in rural areas at local community levels in forests, agriculture, and wetlands protection. The benefits of nature-based solutions can be seen in climate mitigation, adaptation, socioeconomic development, along with sustainable environmental practices.

The International Institute for Sustainable Development projects that nature-based solutions could accomplish: 37% of cost-effective and efficient reductions in the greenhouse gases by 2030 (IISD, 2021). Reduction in biodiversity loss by approximately 50%; Creation of 395 million jobs subsequently providing approximately USD 10 trillion worth of business opportunities in 2030. LehmanBush partners with organizations to develop strategic, long-term, nature-based solutions to help manage and restore forests and natural ecosystems around the world. We believe in strategic collaborations that assist forest owning communities who share our deep and unwavering commitment to conserving and restoring natural ecosystems.
