” Beyond emissions: Crafting a climate-resilient future through Nature-based Climate Solutions and strategic frameworks. “

Global ecosystems are facing a severe threat due to human-induced activities, leading to a critical loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services. Land degradation from factors such as mining, soil erosion, and climatic extremes further compounds the issue. Urgent action is needed to address the impending sixth mass extinction event. Acknowledging the crucial role of ecosystem services in urban development, there is an opportunity to mitigate these challenges through strategic ecological restoration efforts.

Terracon Ecotech aims to be at the forefront of climate change solutions. Our goal is to work on an ecocentric approach leading to conservation and preservation of natural resources that make our planet a liveable home.

Terracon Ecotech integrates ecological restoration and landscaping seamlessly into projects, prioritizing a deep understanding of habitats, species distribution, and biogeographic regions. By proposing designs that conserve natural resources and biodiversity, the company facilitates positive ecosystem interactions. Notable achievements include the design of India’s first nature-based landscape for AURIC Shendra. Terracon’s expertise extends to combating land degradation, rehabilitating wetlands, and restoring water bodies damaged by pollution. Their cost-effective and adaptive restoration practices promise environmental, social, and cultural benefits, contributing to a sustainable and harmonious future.

Evaluation of Ecosystem Services

Human population derives direct and indirect benefits from the ecosystem goods and services that support the sustenance of both the produced capital and the human capital. Valuing ecosystem services is helpful for their effective management, which in some cases may include economic incentives, such as those used in successful systems of payment for ecosystem services. Terracon Ecotech uses a scientific approach to evaluate all the four categories of ecosystem services (Provisioning, Regulating, Supporting and Cultural), including benchmarking studies .

Nature Based Solutions Approach

Nature supports the global societies with the ecosystem goods and services as raw materials required for sustaining lives on earth. However, our ever increasing demands for these natural resources and alteration of services for our own needs have created immense pressure on these ecosystems, reducing their production capacity drastically. At Terracon Ecotech, we are dedicatedly engaging with our partners for developing Nature-based Solutions approach and helping them transform their businesses from nature.

Carbon & Green Credit Project Development

A Carbon or Green Credit program is a mechanism that allows companies, governments to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by funding & supporting projects that sequester carbon dioxide or other harmful greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the atmosphere by developing carbon sinks. A Carbon or Green Credit program attempts to broadbase the structure for several environment positive actions, and not just to reduce emissions. Terracon Ecotech, has been working on projects which are recognized under Carbon and Green Credit scheme.
