Earth is in trouble, so is humankind

Single.Earth tackles one of the most critical challenges in today’s world: the destruction of ecosystems that support life.

Until now, nature has been monetized primarily as raw material. While healthy ecosystems have a crucial existential value, it’s not represented in the modern extractive economy. This leads to the depletion of natural resources on our finite planet. Nature has a limit, and we’ve crossed it.

We strive to

Vastly increase nature protection

Single.Earth’s main goal is to develop scalable business models that support nature preservation. Protecting existing biodiverse forests is the most effective proven way to halt climate change and biodiversity loss.

Give fair access to all lands

Thanks to our Digital Twin models, we can offer credible, free, and efficient assessments. The entry barriers are notably lowered compared to carbon projects. Landowners evaluate, tokenize, and sell on the same platform.

Enable everyone to contribute

By using MERIT – the green currency – in all daily transactions between people, businesses, and institutions, we create a sustainable economy that balances consumption with nature's capabilities.

Meet our global and diverse team

Single.Earth has quickly become one of the fastest-growing startups in the GreenTech space. We’re constantly looking for people inspired by the mission to join our business, technology, and science teams.
