Who are we?

Zulu Ecosystems is rapidly and responsibly regenerating natural ecosystems so that the planet and its communities can thrive.

We use proprietary technology and on-the-ground relationships to mobilise landowners, investors, and local communities to regenerate nature at scale. Ecosystem regeneration, when done in the right way, is a crucial component of climate mitigation and adaptation, delivering truly impactful outcomes including biodiversity uplift, improved soil health, water regulation, carbon sequestration, green jobs, health, and recreational benefits to communities. Importantly, these projects can also generate economic returns which help to incentivise stakeholders, attract financing and secure critical resources.

We believe that when armed with the right insights and tools, landholders, investors and other stakeholders are motivated to regenerate degraded land to maximise its natural capital potential. In providing those insights and tools, our pioneering technology enables stakeholders to quickly and confidently assess, finance, and manage high impact landscape-scale projects. It also helps us to drive operational excellence and scalability into project delivery.
