Welcome to Beyond the Canopy Podcast

Transcript

What if the solutions to our greatest environmental challenges are already growing around us? I’m your host, Alexander from OpenForests, and this is Beyond the Canopy, our podcast where nature takes center stage. Even in this time of environmental destruction, I see reason for hope. Why? Because those leaders I meet are not driven by profit. They are driven by purpose. What they do? They bring degraded landscapes back to life. They build regenerative businesses and they use technology to track restoration impact. On Beyond the Canopy, we go beyond the discussion of challenges. We dive deep into practical solutions like how to finance restorations, how to use forest tech to plan, monitor and manage projects more efficiently and what policy shifts, certifications and frameworks we need to catalyze the restoration movement with corporates and grassroots organizations. To stay up to date, you can subscribe to Beyond the Canopy and be part of the movement for thriving landscapes.
