FRONTERRA Nature-Based Solutions: Carbon and Biodiversity Credits, High Social Impact
Born in France. Rooted in Peru. Scaling across Latin America
Defining the Natural Capital Asset Class
FRONTERRA is a unique hybrid in the market. We combine the financial and legal discipline of a European asset manager with the grit and technical expertise of a Latin American forest operator.
We are the bridge between European institutional finance and rigorous, on-the-ground forest conservation and land rehabilitation/restoration in the Amazon and the Andes.
With offices in Marseille, Lima, Cusco, and Pucallpa, we don't just "source" projects; we build them from the ground up in partnership with local communities and governments. We aggregate community lands and protected areas into cohesive, investable assets, securing long-term governance (40+ years) to deliver high-integrity carbon emissions reduction, removals and biodiversity credits for the global market.
The Experts: Institutional Pedigree
Our leadership team brings a very strong track record in NBS project development, climate finance and public policy. We are not new to this sector; our founders played key roles in the establishment of Peru’s Ministry of Environment and the creation of the Peruvian Carbon Market Association (APC).
Historically, our leadership has structured and mobilized over €200 million in nature-based investments across Latin America. We speak the language of institutional investors—risk, compliance, and yield—ensuring our projects are structured with the legal certainty required by international markets.
The Explorers: Operational Rigor
We go where others won't. Our technical teams utilize the same engineering discipline used in extractive industries, but reversed in purpose: to restore rather than deplete.
We operate on the frontlines of deforestation. Using platform-grade Geo-MRV technology and deep community integration, we turn complex landscapes into transparent, auditable assets.
We don't manage projects from a desk; we build capacity locally, ensuring that "Social License to Operate" is not just a checkbox, but our strongest asset.
The Fronterra Standard: Building on Rock
We believe that high-quality assets are built on difficult ground. We strictly select community-based projects that offer undeniable Additionality—projects that would not exist without carbon finance.
While others may seek the path of least resistance, we prioritize technical robustness.
We adhere to IFC Performance Standards and Verified Carbon Standard (Verra) methodologies. We build "on the rock, not sand", prioritizing long-term permanence and deep community trust over short-term speed. This results in projects that are resilient, de-risked, and permanently valuable.
Graduate Programme
Our Graduate Training Programme is a launchpad for top talent in Forestry, GIS, and Environmental Finance. We train the next generation of professionals to bridge the gap between science and finance. Open to Peruvian, Latin American, and European graduates who are ready to work at the frontier of the market.
