## Resource

Carbon markets have long focused on planting new trees and avoiding deforestation. But a quieter, potentially more durable approach is gaining ground: rewilding — letting ecosystems restore themselves. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how the Knepp Estate in West Sussex, England, turned marginal farmland into a carbon sink and biodiversity hotspot, and why its model is spawning a new asset class. They break down the numbers: Knepp's carbon sequestration rate of roughly 3.5 tonnes per hectare per year, the premium its carbon credits command over conventional forestry offsets, and the growing interest from institutional investors like Aviva and AXA. They also examine the controversy: do rewilding credits truly represent 'additional' carbon removal, or are they a feel-good distraction from deeper emissions cuts? The episode lands on a nuanced view: rewilding won't solve climate change alone, but as a climate-adaptation and biodiversity play, it may be the most undervalued asset in the green transition. #Rewilding #CarbonCredits #KneppEstate #NaturalClimateSolutions #Biodiversity #CarbonMarkets #ESGInvesting #Aviva #AXA #ClimateFinance #GreenAssets #SoilCarbon #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ClimateEconomics #CarbonRemoval #EcosystemRestoration Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
