Google Invests in Amazon Reforestation to Offset Carbon
-

Google announced it is purchasing 200,000 metric tons of carbon removal from Mombak, a Brazil-based forest restoration project.
The initiative will buy farmland in the Amazon and reforest it.
The purchase is made via the Symbiosis Coalition, backed by Google, McKinsey, Meta, Microsoft, and Salesforce.
Nature-based carbon removal projects like this can support biodiversity and replenish aquifers—benefits that direct air capture cannot provide.
Google plans to use DeepMind Perch AI to quantify biodiversity gains.
