Biodiversity Project Developer (gn) for Wetland Restoration

Aeco is a start-up working to become one of the leading private, collaborative developers and financiers of peatland restoration projects across Europe and beyond. While we are currently focusing on carbon finance for peatlands, we are starting to explore biodiversity / nature credits - and other wetlands.

Peatlands cover just 3% of land but store nearly 30% of global soil carbon. When drained, they release ~5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Restoring them is one of the most powerful climate solutions—while also protecting biodiversity and water systems.

In a sector dominated by subsidies and slow public processes, aeco brings private-sector speed and collaboration. Aeco accelerates peatland restoration by combining restoration expertise, private finance, and digital tools. We build a platform where:

1. Land stewards get long-term payments for climate protection—at no cost and with continued cultivation options.
2. Corporates access local, transparent, high-quality carbon and potentially biodiversity credits.
3. Investors tap into a verified green asset class.
4. Restoration partners scale their impact through joint development, funding, and monitoring.

With first projects implemented and plenty more in the pipeline we deliver projects from sourcing to financing, certification, and monitoring— in a standardized, digital-first, and third-party validated way. Our objective is to restore at least 50.000 ha by 2030, scaling well beyond that in the 2030s.
