Carbon Conservation Company, a firm set up to offer carbon footprint consultancy and an ecologically responsible alternative to current carbon offset trading, announced the formal launch of its first vintage of voluntary carbon credits.
The companys CEO Subramaniam Eassuwaren invited concerned companies and individuals who wish to obtain carbon offsets that are more than mere licences to pollute to consider investing in the companys sustainable carbon credits.
The firm specializes in helping companies calculate their impact on the environment including their carbon and water footprints. After helping them monitor their footprints, they then offer the companies ecologically sound credits to offset what they cannot reduce.
They are now working with several boutique eco hotels to reduce their carbon footprints while also advising individuals and organisations on how to manage their lands in an environmentally sound manner.
Conservation Carbon Company (CCC) carbon credits are earned through a special process known as Analog Forestry, which helps preserve biodiversity and benefits local communities even as it sequesters carbon through the planting of trees. Analog Forestry is the brainchild of Dr. Ranil Senanayake, a famous biologist, conservationist and champion of the worlds rainforests, who is celebrated for the discovery of several new plant and animal species and who founded the International Analog Forestry Network in 1996. Dr. Senanayake serves in a senior capacity on the board of CCC.
Making biodiversity
profitable
Unlike traditional carbon-capture projects, which tend to be monocultural and industrial in nature, Analog Forestry preserves natural habitats and biodiversity by making them economically useful to local communities. The system is financed by trading carbon credits earned by planting trees and other forest vegetation to promote and extend these habitats.
Thriving, ecologically self-sustaining forests are one of the best ways of keeping Earth

Dear Sir, I am designing an analogue forestry integrated with permaculture,pastoralism and organic agriculture. I am required to derive my livelihood from this and also it is required to demonstrate that we can restore soil fertility back to its originalnatural order.
