Invest in forest ecosystems and empower smallholder farmers.
We help landowners in developing countries to access productive capital by derisking micro-loans through biodiversity and carbon certified forests and building an attractive impact investment product for investors.
Our Win-Win-Win Formula
reilo. creates a regenerative financial loop benefiting investors, smallholder farmers, and nature.
Investors
reilo. offers a unique investment opportunity by turning certified forests into financeable assets. Investors benefit from dual returns: interest from microloans and revenue from premium nature-based carbon credits. This model de-risks micro-lending and aligns capital with measurable climate and nature outcomes, positioning investors at the forefront of the growing impact investment market.
Smallholder Farmers
reilo. empowers smallholder farmers by linking forest conservation with access to fair microloans. Using their certified forests as collateral, farmers can invest in sustainable agricultural practices, boosting their income and financial stability. This approach transforms undervalued natural resources into bankable assets, fostering a regenerative financial loop that uplifts rural communities.
Nature
reilo.'s model directly incentivizes the protection and restoration of forest ecosystems. By assigning economic value to natural forests, we help prevent deforestation and soil degradation. Verified forest plots contribute to CO₂ reductions and removals, enhancing biodiversity and the overall health of the planet, aligning with global efforts to combat climate change and biodiversity loss.
Discover our Projects
Through our fieldwork, we uncovered a critical gap: smallholder farmers face major barriers to accessing micro-loans - precisely the financial tools they need to manage climate risks and invest in sustainable productivity. Lacking alternatives, many are driven to deforest their land in pursuit of short-term income. Discover how we are changing this—together with smallholder farmers across developing countries.
