At the Healthy Forests Foundation, we know that carbon is just one part of the story. Forests aren’t just carbon sinks—they are complex ecosystems that support biodiversity, cultural values, and community resilience. That’s why we’re excited by Aetium’s forestry approach, which moves well beyond standard carbon accounting.
Unlike traditional carbon calculators that offer a narrow, transactional view of carbon sequestration, Aetium’s platform integrates spatial ecology, forest structure, and land management history to generate site-specific insights. Their system doesn’t just measure what’s there—it helps predict what’s possible.
By combining ecological data with practical forestry knowledge, Aetium enables landholders and project developers to design carbon plantings that are scientifically credible and ecologically sound. That means better outcomes not only for carbon, but for habitat quality, fire risk, and long-term landscape health.
What sets Aetium apart is their commitment to context. Every forest has a story—its soils, species, disturbance history and local climate all shape its capacity to store carbon. Aetium’s approach respects this complexity, delivering more accurate forecasts and more trustworthy projects.
As Australia moves toward nature-positive solutions, we see this kind of intelligent, grounded approach to carbon as essential. It’s not just about tonnes—it’s about trust, transparency, and ecological integrity.
