What We Do

Arbaro Advisors develops and advises on sustainable forestry investments in Latin America and the Caribbean. This type of investment generates financial returns alongside significant environmental and social impact.

Sustainably managed forests help protect the environment in multiple ways, including sequestering CO2, combating deforestation, and preserving biodiversity. Responsible forestry creates employment and develops specialized skills in rural communities. And responsible forestry is a sound long-term financial investment that combines diversified risk with solid returns.

What Investors Say

  • “Sustainable commercial forestry is crucial to protecting endangered forests, supporting employment in rural areas, and tackling climate change. The EIB is pleased to act as cornerstone investor to strengthen the impact of the Arbaro Fund in Africa and Latin America, home to the most important and threatened forests on the planet.”

    Andrew McDowell
    Agriculture Vice President, European Investment Bank

  • “Sustainable forestry has long been one of Finnfund’s key sectors because the world needs to step up its efforts to fight deforestation and climate change. We expect the Arbaro Fund to play an important role in this vital effort.”

    Jaakko Kangasniemi
    CEO, Finnish Fund for Industrial Cooperation Ltd.

  • “Especially in light of the climate goals set by the United Nations, timber – as a renewable, carbon-sequestering resource – is playing an increasingly significant role in combating climate change. That, along with the fact that its development is uncorrelated to any other asset class, makes an investment in Arbaro Fund an ideal addition to our portfolio.”

    Markus Zeilinger
    Founder and CEO, fair-finance Vorsorgekasse

  • “Arbaro Fund is a perfect fit to Girteka Logistics. Girteka and Arbaro both strive for financial returns while maintaining a focus on the social and environmental aspects of the business. This is a great match with our WE CARE mission statement.”

    Tomas Krakauskas
    Chief Investment Officer, Girteka Logistics

What Does Arbaro Mean?

The word ‘Arbaro’, meaning ‘tree’, stems from Esperanto which is an auxiliary language developed in the 19th century to facilitate communication between people from all over the globe who don’t share a common language. We at Arbaro Advisors believe that forests are a global treasure we all share and cherish, no matter where we live on the planet; and there could be no better representation of that belief than the global word ‘Arbaro’!
