    Express Investigation: The myth of afforestation and a dubious teak trail

    Express Investigation: The myth of afforestation and a dubious teak trail
    Large scale deforestation, the lack of transparency on the status of forests, the problems of compensatory afforestation, and the dubious timber trail of Myanmar. These are all part of the findings of investigation Deforestation Inc — Indian Express’ latest collaboration with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ). In this episode, we speak to Indian Express’ Ritu Sarin, Jay Mazoomdaar and Amitabh Sinha about these findings, and the problems within India's forest sector.

    36. Software & The Carbon Capture of Forests

    36. Software & The Carbon Capture of Forests


    Padraig Coffey    , CEO at Zartis and podcast host, is joined by Levi‌ ‌Malott,‌ ‌VP‌ ‌of‌ ‌Engineering‌ ‌at‌ ‌Pachama‌, to discuss the opportunity for technology to measure the carbon capture of forests and guide decision-making.


    On the Carbon Sequestration of Trees and Forests

    The Guest - Levi Malott, VP of Engineering at Pachama:

    Levi Malott is an engineer and engineering leader with over a decade of experience in the software world. He has worked in some incredibly impactful companies, including SpaceX, BetterUp and now Pachama. Levi is currently VP of Engineering at Pachama, a company that uses AI and remote sensing to verify and monitor carbon capture by forests to help finance conservation and reforestation.


    Technology-enabled Carbon Capture Measurement

    Tree planting and forest projects have become an essential carbon offsetting tool at both a small and large scale. For these initiatives to have a real impact, it’s essential to understand them better and invest accordingly. Technology can help during the many stages of that process. Levi shares his deep expertise as he introduces us to this topic.

    Some of the topics covered in this podcast episode include:

    • The lifetime of a tree (and a forest) and how its carbon absorption capabilities evolve.
    • The three types of forest projects - reforestation, conservation and improved forest management.
    • The challenges and opportunities of measuring the carbon capture of forests. 
    • Assessing risk - forest fires.
    • The next steps in this space at the intersection of technology and forestry.

    Startup Series: NCX

    Startup Series: NCX

    Today's guest is Zack Parisa, Co-Founder & CEO of NCX. 

    NCX, previously known as SilviaTerra, is a forest carbon marketplace. Developed in collaboration with Microsoft, NCX created an AI-powered forest called Basemap to connect American landowners with net-zero companies. For landowners, NCX makes it possible for them to get paid not to cut. For buyers, NCX provides greater transparency for carbon credits that has measurable and immediate impact. Built on a decade of industry-leading expertise, NCX takes a data-driven approach to democratize carbon markets in forests. 

    In this episode, Zack and I discuss NCX's mission, the company's origin story, and how Zack became climate motivated. We dive into the key phases and staging of NCX, their recent collaboration with Microsoft, and what makes the company unique. We also have a lively discussion about the controversies about carbon credits, why a voluntary market can only get us so far, and what policies would most accelerate NCX's success. It was great to have a conversation with Zack and learn more about NCX.

    Enjoy the show!
