Tracking carbon assets and managing carbon credits can unlock substantial funding for the African forestry market if well-anchored in law. An Estonia-based company, Timbeter, is presenting a promising future for Africa’s credit transactions, according to CNBC Africa. 

Innovation in forestry is not just about efficiency—it’s about sustainability and economic opportunity, shared Anna-Greta Tsahkna, CEO of Timbeter, in the interview. By combining AI with supportive regulation, Africa can change its forestry sector into a transparent, climate-aligned industry that creates value while protecting natural resources.

“Timbeter is bringing digital transformation to the forestry sector, replacing manual operations with digital ones, to save resources, have more accuracy in operations, and of course get digital data,” said Tsahkna. “You cannot be sustainable without being digital,” she added.

She highlighted how AI-driven measurement and traceability can combat illegal logging, improve efficiency, and align forestry with climate goals. “What you can measure, that you can actually control,” she said, underscoring the importance of accurate data in sustainable forestry and carbon asset management.
