Humberto J. Rocha is a journalist at OPIS where he covers carbon and biodiversity. He focuses on daily and long-term stories about these markets, analyzing price trends and structural challenges or opportunities.

My strategic priorities are to help connect investors with developers, and to provide information for anyone interested in learning more and partaking in the biodiversity and carbon markets. Another priority is to ensure the integrity of these markets by providing impartial stories regarding its players.
What do you believe is one of the most important issues that need to be solved over the next 10 years?
One of the most important issues is restoring and protecting nature through investments. Humans have eroded and degraded the biodiversity around us and we need to not only put a stop to this but help to generate investments and efforts to restore and protect biodiversity - our entire lives depend on it.
