Biodiversity
Funga develops transformative solutions for the forestry industry, leveraging breakthrough research from ETH Zürich's Crowther Lab. Specializing in the forest fungal microbiome, Funga utilizes modern DNA sequencing and machine learning to reintroduce biodiverse mycorrhizal fungi communities to working forests. This innovative approach, inspired by scientific discoveries, accelerates tree growth, carbon removal, and builds critical fungal biodiversity. With roots in the loblolly pine forests of the American southeast, Funga's interventions enhance forest yields, increase the value of the forestry sector, and contribute to climate resilience. The organization redefines forestry outcomes, addressing the climate crisis while fostering beneficial microbial biodiversity.
