INDIGENOUS-LED CLIMATE ACTION
Carbon Offsets that Protect First Nations Lands and Support Communities
Great Bear Carbon (GBC) runs the first Indigenous-owned carbon offset project in Canada. Dedicated to protecting the Great Bear Rainforest—one of the world's largest remaining intact rainforests—GBC's shareholders are the Coastal First Nations, who have cared for these lands for millennia.
When you purchase Great Bear carbon credits, you support conservation efforts that align with the stewardship values of Coastal Nations including Gitga’at, Heiltsuk, Kitasoo, Metlakatla, Nuxalk, Old Massett, Skidegate, Wuikinuxv, and Haida Nation. Together, we can safeguard Indigenous lands and ecosystems for future generations.

GBC's carbon offset projects protect some of the world's most pristine forests while upholding Indigenous stewardship principles. Purchasing Great Bear Carbon offsets supports sustainable land management and climate resilience. With a majority of proceeds going to Coastal Nations' stewardship, these projects help preserve ecosystems, reduce carbon emissions, and ensure long-term environmental health along Canada's Pacific coastline.

Our Portfolio
GBC brokers carbon offset unit sales and manages forest carbon projects within the Great Bear Rainforest, which spans approximately 400 kilometres of British Columbia’s coastline from the Alaska Panhandle down to Knight Inlet. Each project prioritizes long-term sustainability, environmental integrity, and meaningful Reconciliation with the Coastal First Nations communities.
Carbon offset revenues help create new jobs in forestry planning and stewardship, management of conservation and biodiversity areas, marine use planning and investment in sustainable industries like renewable energy opportunities, shellfish, tourism and non-timber forest products.
