Optimising land use by recognising natural capital value
Our group
The African Conservation Development Group (ACDG) is pioneering an evidence-driven approach to delivering sustainable development in tropical forest ecosystems.
We develop large scale sustainable land-use projects that unlock commercial value from an ecosystem while maintaining ecosystem function, conserving biodiversity and improving local livelihoods.
Grande Mayumba, our flagship project, is based in southern Gabon. We hold the rights to consolidate and sustainably develop a land area of 731,000 hectares.
