Global Green Carbon (GGC) announced today that they are partnering with Ocean Research Project (ORP) to map the CO2 levels of the Atlantic ocean. The 2013 Atlantic Survey is one of three expeditions slated for this year by the non-profit organization. The Atlantic Ocean is home to the Atlantic Garbage Patch and coincides with one of the five major oceanic gyres, the Sargasso Sea Gyre which is a huge spiral of seawater formed by colliding currents. Although depicted as a floating junkyard on the high seas it is a region that has not been thoroughly explored. Nicole Trenholm, ORP’s Program Director and Field Operations Scientist stated, ” It is very exciting that we have a developing partnership with Global Green Carbon Corporation. GGC’s support of ORP’s initial offshore expedition will aid in building the foundation of emerging ocean acidification research.”

Global Green Carbon (GGC) announced today that it has been selected by Crawford Enterprises to remediate a mining concession in the Napo Province, a critical area of the Ecuador Amazon Rainforest. The concession is 1,000 hectares of partially de-graded land located along the banks of the Napo River, one of the headwaters of the Amazon River. In keeping with the corporate mission of linking sustainiblity and profitability, the reforestation project will utilize native species to promote habitat creation and profitable long-term agroforestry practices. Cacao, yucca, and plantain will provide a sustainable understory to the rainforest while providing cash crops to the local Kichwa tribes.
