Before modern carbon markets existed, Indigenous peoples had systems of balance that kept ecosystems healthy for millennia. This knowledge — known as Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) — forms the foundation of Karbon’s approach to restoration.
Through practices like cultural burning, selective harvesting, and natural regeneration, TEK restores ecosystem balance and enhances long-term carbon storage. The Tulley Creek project uses TEK to guide reforestation and fire management, reconnecting cultural stewardship with modern carbon accounting.
By integrating TEK into blockchain-based carbon systems, Karbon Token bridges ancestral knowledge and modern technology — ensuring that climate action is both scientifically sound and culturally rooted.
