ORKCA Chief Executive Officer, Andreia Pawel
ORKCA (Orange River Karoo Conservation Area) is a non-profit conservation organization that brings together land units to form a large continuous conservation area dedicated to the benefit of local communities and wildlife. ORKCA also supports the community-owned conservancies of southern Namibia. Natural State is a nonprofit based in Kenya which catalyzes large-scale restoration globally by revolutionizing impact monitoring, developing new financial mechanisms and supporting local leaders.
The Project Manager will play a key role in managing the Rolex Perpetual Planet Grant donated to Natural State to be piloted at ORKCA for expanding the organization's landscape footprint and implementing carbon and biodiversity monitoring initiatives. The manager will serve as the bridge between ORKCA and Natural State, collaborating closely with the Natural State team based in Kenya to develop methodologies and oversee the pilot project's implementation on ORKCA's grounds.
In partnership with Natural State, we will use cost-effective, rigorous, and verifiable impact measurement systems developed specifically for a arid conservation landscape to underpin the sale of integrated high-quality credits. With Natural State and their best-in-class partners, we will be using aerial and ground level remote sensing data, including aerial scans, LiDAR technology, camera traps, and acoustic sensors, along with satellite data, to measure changes in carbon and biodiversity as the land transitions from a degraded to a restored state. This data will be used to inform AI modeling systems that will enable the analysis of vast datasets to quantify impact over time.
The technology will be used to measure different impact parameters, such as above-ground carbon, soil organic carbon, species richness, relative abundance, functional diversity, and financial benefits to local communities, providing the rigor and transparency needed to catalyze nature-based solutions markets.
All of the resulting data will be extremely useful in modeling for similar properties within the wider ORKCA landscape, as well as being scalable to other arid and semi-arid landscapes.
The Project Manager will be responsible for the coordination of further projects as ORKCA continues our fundraising efforts and more grants are successful.
