The announcement brings Mercado Libre’s total investment in the program to $23.7 million.
“Our partnership with Mercado Libre further enables Pachama to activate high fidelity, nature-based projects that have the full confidence of buyers and meet ambitious carbon dioxide removal goals,” said Dick Cameron, VP of Science at Pachama. “Our roots are in the forests of Latin America and we’re thrilled to partner with an industry leader who shares our commitment to mitigating climate change by investing in nature and biodiversity.”

Regenera América’s new projects will be implemented together with Pachama. They include:
Latin America is home to 40% of the world’s biodiversity and many of the planet’s most important biomes. With this new round of investment, Regenera América will have begun the conservation and restoration of more than 15,000 hectares of native forest, equivalent to more than 14 million trees, which will contribute with an estimated capture of more than 1.1 million tons of CO2e in 30 years and will help avoid 3 million tons of CO2e.
Pachama is a technology company on a mission to restore nature to solve climate change. Harnessing the latest advancements in satellite imagery, remote sensing and machine learning, Pachama measures the carbon dioxide equivalent stored in our forests with unprecedented precision and monitors forest growth over time. Through the Pachama platform, responsible companies can confidently invest in high-quality forest conservation projects verified by Pachama’s rigorous evaluation process.
