The fallout from the current COVID crisis will be deep and wide ranging. Impacts will include the loss of millions of jobs, and the recession that follows will cause hardship and strain all areas of the economy. At the same time, the climate and ecological emergency (CEE) is not going away. The UK government has therefore recognised the need to 'build back better' -- to respond to the COVID recession by implementing policies that create a clean, growth led recovery and at the same time support the UKs transition to a Net-Zero economy. Our CreditNATURE project aims to create a new service for landowners that enables them to **map the carbon and biodiversity of their land - and to monitor the success of restoration and rewilding programmes**. CreditNATURE brings together a collection of innovative technologies to create a platform underpinned by real world data; where landowners can baseline the carbon, biodiversity and ecosystem recovery of their land, plan investment and future revenue returns and generate carbon, biodiversity and ecological integrity (rewilding) credits. Examples include the Woodland Code and Biodiversity credits. By enabling landowners via a cost effective, simple route to map and generate these credits, they can more easily access new revenue streams that reward them for enhancing the environmental conditions of their land, rather than depleting them; as well as setting them up to access to higher tier payments via future Environmental Land Management policy payments. CreditNATURE wil be working with an exciting potential future client - The Bunloit Wildland Project. This project has been set up by solar entrepreneur and environmental activist Jeremy Leggett. It's stated aims are to explore and develop understanding around carbon sequestration and biodiversity enhancement via Rewilding land management. This project solves a key identified need for Jeremy and Bunloit - **provision of a commercially viable solution to baselining, modelling and continuous monitoring of the carbon and biodiversity fluxes of the estat to support the project aims.** We believe that our innovative CreditNATURE project has the potential to unleash a wave of new job creation due to the requirements to restore, manage and enhance natural land assets and so enable access to new sources of revenue for landowners via nature-based credits. Jobs lost to COVID can be replaced with valuable work enhancing nature - building back better by creating a Net-Zero carbon economy across the UK landscape.

当前COVID危机的影响将是深远而广泛的。其影响将包括数百万人失业，随之而来的经济衰退将给所有经济领域带来困难和压力。与此同时，气候和生态紧急情况（CEE）并没有消失。因此，英国政府已认识到有必要“重建得更好”，即通过实施创造清洁、增长主导型复苏的政策来应对新冠肺炎经济衰退，同时支持英国向净零经济过渡。我们的CreditNATURE项目旨在为土地所有者创造一种新的服务，使他们能够 ** 绘制土地的碳和生物多样性地图，并监测恢复和恢复计划的成功 **。CreditNATURE汇集了一系列创新技术，以创建一个以真实的世界数据为基础的平台;土地所有者可以在其中为土地的碳、生物多样性和生态系统恢复建立基线，规划投资和未来的收入回报，并产生碳、生物多样性和生态完整性（重新野化）信用。这方面的例子包括《林地法》和《生物多样性信贷》。通过使土地所有者能够通过具有成本效益的简单途径来绘制和生成这些信用，他们可以更容易地获得新的收入来源，以奖励他们改善其土地的环境条件，而不是消耗他们;以及通过未来的环境土地管理政策付款，使他们能够获得更高级别的付款。CreditNATURE将与一个令人兴奋的潜在未来客户-Bunloit荒地项目。这个项目是由太阳能企业家和环保活动家杰里米·莱格特建立的。它的目的是探索和发展周围的碳封存和生物多样性的增强通过恢复土地管理的理解。该项目解决了Jeremy和Bunloit确定的一个关键需求- ** 提供一个商业上可行的解决方案，以基线，建模和持续监测该生态系统的碳和生物多样性通量，以支持项目目标。我们相信，我们的创新CreditNATURE项目有潜力创造一波新的就业机会，因为需要恢复、管理和增强自然土地资产，从而通过基于自然的信贷为土地所有者提供新的收入来源。因新冠肺炎而失去的工作岗位可以用有价值的工作来取代，这些工作可以改善自然环境--通过在英国各地创建净零碳经济来更好地重建。
