Biocapacity projects re-establish Earth’s biological capacity. They are fundamentally wholistic and long-term.
Charitable Reciprocate Biocapacity Ltd was set up in May 2008 to advance a culture of ecosystem guardianship and help sustain Earth’s biocapacity.
Financial support and land is sought at all times to significantly up-scale ecological reforestation, the re-establishment of natural resources, effective carbon sequestration and the restoration of indigenous biodiversity for a future of life and culture on Earth.
Definition:
Biocapacity (biological capacity) means the ability of ecosystems to sustain intrinsic biodiversity, produce useful biological materials and energy, and cycle / reuse wastes generated by human activities (including carbon emissions).
That ability of ecosystems to sustain, produce and cycle, depends on its functional integrity and biodiversity which together establish an ecosystem’s resilience to buffer (sustain its people, plants and animals) against life threatening events (climatic and weather extremes, loss of bio-capacity to store and cycle nutrients in soil and living biomass).
