NCAPX Advances Natural Climate Solutions

An Innovative Approach to Forest Carbon

We built NCAPX to address challenges with legacy forest carbon projects head-on.

Forestry is based on the knowledge of nature, the deeper we penetrate its secrets, the deeper the depths before us. What the light of an oil lamp makes visible is easily overlooked; many more things we can see by torch light, but infinitely more in the sunlight. The lighter it grows around us, the more unknown things become apparent, and it is a sure sign of shallowness, if anybody believes he knows it all.
-Heinrich von Cotta, 1816

Who We Are

The name SilviaTerra comes from the Latin roots silva (“forest”) and terra (“earth”) — an embodiment of our mission to ensure that every forest on earth is fully and fairly valued.

We are a team of foresters, data scientists, and changemakers dedicated to expanding our understanding of forests and strengthening our ability to manage these complex and vital ecosystems.

SilviaTerra grew out of CEO Zack Parisa's research at the Yale School of Forestry. Combining our expertise in forest science and statistics with the latest developments in remote sensing and big data, SilviaTerra is building the future of natural capital markets.
