Outreach
Science for society and policy
We believe scientific data must be translated into actionable strategies. Our outreach focuses on three areas.
Farmer engagement
Working with local farms and the Instituto Ouro Verde to identify “carbon-smart” practices such as silvopastoral systems.
Policy support
Contributing data to improve global carbon estimates and helping Brazil meet its Paris Accord commitments.
Education
Building on our Amazon outreach programmes to inspire the next generation of ecologists.
Policy briefs
Learn more about the policy and management implications of our research. Each brief turns a published study into clear recommendations for policymakers, carbon-standard bodies and land managers.
Policy brief · October 2026
Amazon soil carbon: the missing credit
Burned Amazonian forests still hold large soil carbon stocks, yet no carbon-credit programme recognises them. Four pages, with recommendations for carbon-standard bodies, governments and certification schemes.
Policy brief · October 2026
Andean soil carbon: the deep pool, still uncredited
High-Andean forests store six times more soil carbon than lowland forests, in a durable pool that carbon markets do not see. Two pages, with recommendations for project developers, carbon-standard bodies and conservation funders.
