Native, a Public Benefit Corporation

The Northern Great Plains Regenerative Grazing Project is a new and innovative carbon removal project that enhances western grasslands and strengthens ranching communities. An investment in the Northern Great Plains Regenerative Grazing Project increases the adoption of sustainable ranching practices. As a result, the project helps preserve additional grasslands in the Yellowstone region. It improves the protected area’s natural buffer to help critical wildlife corridors that are part of the greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.

HelpBuild offsets from the Northern Great Plains Regenerative Grazing Project provide funding for fencing and water infrastructure. This allows ranchers to increase their number of pastures, decrease the size of the pastures, and increase speed and number of livestock rotations, thus prolonging rest and recovery of the grasses and their root systems.

As a part of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, Montana is home to a diversity of plant and wildlife species that serve vital ecological functions while supporting Montana’s economy through recreation and tourism. Increasing its ecosystems' resilience and carrying capacity means reducing tensions between conservation, ranching, hunting and fishing.

Western Sustainability Exchange

The Northern Kenya Rangelands Project covers over 1.9 million hectares of savannah grassland that stretches across 14 conservancies. With rotational grazing practices resulting in 50 million tonnes of CO2 sequestered over the 30-year project lifespan. Carbon funding from the project will help diversify community income and support specific conservancy needs, including clean water, education, and infrastructure projects.
