Google, through the Symbiosis Coalition, has signed a long-term agreement with Working Trees to remove 270,000 tons of carbon dioxide using silvopasture in Brazil. The project plants trees on active pasturelands across the Amazon and Cerrado biomes, keeping cattle on the land while adding timber and carbon revenue for ranchers. The trees provide shade for livestock, improve soil health, and build drought resilience. Working Trees says its digital platform tracks each planted tree, which creates a verification trail for the carbon impact. The approach could scale across millions of hectares of Brazilian ranchland, making it a notable example of nature-based carbon removal with clear economic incentives for landowners.
