Nakau Nature Connect links Indigenous communities, customary landowners and local organisations with partnership and support for carbon and nature projects.
Led by the needs of communities, we seek partners and donors who are committed to helping people protect and restore the nature they love, and that we all depend on.
Together, we develop sustainable carbon and nature projects that deliver.
Projects kickstarted through Nakau Nature Connect are developed within the Nakau Programme — an ethical and community-led approach to carbon projects.
Nakau works in partnership with communities, organisations, business and donors. We support successful projects operating on the voluntary carbon market in three countries and have numerous projects in development.
The Nakau Programme provides a pathway for partners and donors to support nature-based solutions that place the development needs of communities first.
We offer access to methodologies, resources and support for project coordinators.
We ensure the rights of landowners and communities are protected and that they benefit fully from their carbon or nature project.
