Sylvera has launched the Open Carbon Data Project, an initiative to generate open-access forest carbon data for the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. The Rockefeller Foundation and Meta provided a combined $900,000 in funding for the project. Sylvera partnered with the State University of Santa Cruz, World Resources Institute, and the Symbiosis Coalition to create a benchmark-grade forest carbon dataset. This data aims to improve measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) for forest carbon, lowering market participation barriers for smallholders and increasing investor confidence. The data will be released later this year under a CC BY 4.0 open license.
