Qarlbo Biodiversity CEO, Aleksandra Holmlund, in New Private Markets

Aleksandra Holmlund, CEO of Qarlbo Biodiversity, shared insights into a pioneering biodiversity credit transaction in a recent feature by New Private Markets.
The article highlights what Qarlbo believes to be the first off-take agreement for voluntary biodiversity credits in the US — a milestone deal with private investor 6M Properties.
Aleksandra explains how the model ensures transparency and credibility, with payments tied to verified biodiversity outcomes and independent third-party validation. She emphasizes the importance of aligning conservation finance with real ecological impact, stating:
“The way we see this working is where the landowner and project developer take the whole risk. So the buyer only pays for deliverables, once they are delivered and verified.”
The article also explores the broader significance of biodiversity credits in forest landscapes and how Qarlbo’s method could become a scalable template for conservation-driven investment.
