Nature is Africa’s
greatest asset.
So let’s value the air.
We turn air, water, soil and living things into bankable assets: measured honestly, valued credibly, and financed through carbon credits, biodiversity credits and the capital behind them. Making nature pay, and paying the people who protect it.

Pesa.
The name is the thesis. A healthy environment is not a cost centre. It is the asset base everything else is built on.
We are a natural capital and nature-finance advisory, conceived and first registered in Maputo in 2025 and now registered in Kenya too. We work for the people who have to make real decisions about land, water and money: ministries, development partners, investors, conservancies and communities.
Our storyEverything worth valuing lives in four places.
Air, water, soil and living things. Human activity moves carbon, nitrogen and water between them every day, and every economy on the continent runs on the result. That is the system we measure.
Air
The carbon a landscape stores or releases, and the climate risk it carries. We quantify it so it can be reported, traded or defended.
- GHG & carbon stock baselines
- Climate risk screening
- Carbon finance
Water
Catchments, wetlands, mangroves and the blue economy. Water is where data gaps quietly become finance gaps, so we work on both.
- Watershed & wetland accounts
- Blue economy & coastal finance
- Locally led ocean action
Soil
Rangelands, farmland and the soil carbon beneath them. Bare ground is a balance-sheet loss. Recovered cover is a measurable gain.
- Rangeland condition & validation
- Soil carbon & land degradation
- Land-use & land-cover change
Living things
Forests, wildlife, herds, crops and the communities who live alongside them. Biodiversity is the project, not a decoration on it.
- Biodiversity baselines & ESIA
- Biodiversity credits
- Community benefit design
Six practices. One balance sheet.
