Beyond Sustainability
Meet Biodiversity

Introducing truly circular beauty: 100% of KAEA profits are invested into biodiversity regeneration.

Biological Diversity

Biodiversity is a term used to capture the immense variety of life on our planet. It covers all plants, animals, bacteria, fungi and more, and includes not just microscopic organisms but ecosystems.

    Native trees planted and regenerated.

Our Purpose

At KAEA, we are driven by a singular purpose: to restore a thriving, native and biodiverse ecosystem.

Biodiversity – the interconnectedness of all forms of life on our planet – is in jeopardy. 4.5 billion years in evolution and now human activity is pushing one million species towards extinction. Without biodiversity, there is no other life on earth – including our own. Yet, while nature loves diversity, economies love monocultures and single metrics, like CO2.

Our aim is to accelerate the global conversation from the overly simplistic focus on carbon to the value of native, biodiversity restoration.

From TAHI, our ‘living eco-lab’ located in New Zealand, to our portfolio of purpose-driven products, with 100% of profits reinvested into biodiversity.

Thank you for joining us on this journey.

TAHI is our 800-acre living eco-lab, located in Aotearoa New Zealand. Our scientists have over 40 years of expertise in ecosystem creation. TAHI is a living example of the power of nature-based science.

From a Biodiversity Desert 
To a Rich Eco-System

Our restoration project began in 2004, when we embarked on transforming this beautiful, remote, yet run-down cattle farm and set about returning the land to a rich ecosystem.

Biodiversity Highlights

Biodiversity Positive
Carbon Negative

We change the conversation on carbon, to focus on the potential of biodiversity restoration to stem the dual crises of global warming and biodiversity loss.

Bird Life:
From 20 to 71 species

In 2004, when our restoration project began, TAHI was home to 20 native species. Today, we have 71 and counting, including 25 rare and endangered birds.

8.8 Milllion Native Trees
Planted or Regenerated

At TAHI we have unlocked the regenerative power of natural ecosystems. Birdlife super-powers our strategic planting, acting as natural architects for our ecosystem.

100% Profits Reinvested

TAHI’s model sees us develop global brands with biodiversity at their core. We invest 100% of the proceeds from TAHI brands into biodiversity projects.

20 Wetlands Re-Established

Wetlands act as the kidneys of the land. We are proud to have restored almost all of the original wetlands: 96 acres of wetlands and 11.1 acres of lakes to date.
