hummingbirds

hummingbirds is an innovative player in the development and financing of Nature-based Solutions (NbS), committed since 2022 to restoring and preserving our threatened ecosystems.

With a collaborative approach alongside carefully selected local partners, these experts mobilize carbon finance to create a lasting positive impact worldwide. They have 20 ongoing projects, focusing on tropical forests, agroforestry, regenerative agriculture, wetlands, peatlands and coastal ecosystems, energy efficiency, and improved cookstoves. Based in Paris, hummingbirds operates across the entire tropical belt from six regional offices located in Abidjan (Ivory Coast), Madrid (Spain), Melbourne (Australia), Mexico City (Mexico), Nairobi (Kenya), and São Paulo (Brazil). This local presence allows the teams to deeply understand regional socio-economic issues and to work closely with threatened ecosystems.

Their upcoming project in Spain represents one of the largest reforestation initiatives according to the Standard created by the Spanish Ministry of Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge. This project spans 595 hectares in the municipalities of Trabazos, Retortillo, and Dueñas, located in the Castilla y León region, significantly contributing to the conservation and enhancement of our forest ecosystems. It involves reforesting 317 hectares and gradually transforming a pine plantation into a mixed forest that integrates various species of broadleaf trees. The project area also includes approximately 60 hectares of afforestation on degraded land using native species. Through this initiative, hummingbirds aims to restore biodiversity and establish a resilient environment that provides ecosystem services (such as pollination and carbon sequestration) in the long term. Under the leadership of Carbon2Nature, an entity wholly owned by Iberdrola and focused on developing nature-based projects with high environmental and social impact, and with support from experts for biodiversity monitoring, hummingbirds applies the highest standards to ensure measurable and beneficial environmental outcomes.

hummingbirds aims to engage citizens through LITA.co in developing this natural ecosystem restoration project in Spain, with the goal of restoring close to 600 hectares of land through an investment of €575,000 in redeemable bonds over three years.
