Pachama Inc.
Jobs posted: 1
Our mission is to help reduce climate change by protecting and restoring the forests.
Pachama is an organization focused on developing technology solutions to accelerate the growth of the Forest Carbon Credits market. Our ultimate intention is to help scale up the protection and restoration of the forests of the planet, which recapture carbon from the atmosphere reversing climate change, and are the holders of the planet’s biodiversity, keystones for maintaining planetary homeostasis.
Frameworks introduced by the United Nations allow for the certification of carbon credits from projects that avoid deforestation or accelerate reforestation. However, current methodologies for verification and exchange of these carbon credits lack enough trust, clarity, transparency and efficiency. Combining technologies such as satellite imaging, machine learning and smart contracts we aim to radically improve these processes. In doing so we believe we can help channel billions of additional dollars from organizations and governments seeking to offset their carbon emissions into those protecting and restoring the forest.
Our team has a proven track record developing and introducing breakthrough technologies from innovative Silicon Valley companies, having had significant impact on several industries. The company started and is headquartered in California’s Bay Area, but we are creating a globally distributed organization. We are hoping to attract talented people from around the world who feel inspired to contribute to the protection of our living planet.
We named the company Pachama, in tribute to “Pachamama”, the goddess of Mother Earth revered by the indigenous people of South America. In Andean mythology Pachamama represents fertility presiding over planting and harvesting, and more deeply the idea that all living beings are deeply interconnected in one web of life, “one spirit”. We hope to honor this idea in our mission and our ways of doing things.
