Medius Earth Graduates from the CEEZER Carbon Coalition, Bringing India's Community-Owned Restoration to Global Carbon Buyers
Flagship Regenerating Rajasthan project becomes the first Medius Earth project listed on the CEEZER platform, opening a direct channel to institutional carbon buyers.
Bengaluru, 21 May 2026 - Medius Earth, a brand name of Hasten Forestry India Pvt. Ltd., today announced its graduation from the fourth cohort of the CEEZER Carbon Coalition, the accelerator's first edition dedicated entirely to Nature-based Solutions (NbS). Selected from more than 50 applicants spanning 27 countries, Medius Earth was one of a small group of early-stage developers chosen for their potential to deliver real, scalable, high-integrity carbon removal.
Marking the milestone, Medius Earth's flagship Regenerating Rajasthan project becomes the first project to be listed on the CEEZER platform, giving institutional carbon buyers an early, transparent window into a landscape-restoration programme rooted in community ownership across the Aravalli belt of Rajasthan.
Graduating from the Carbon Coalition is a signal of readiness. The market is looking for diligence-ready, claims-ready and buyer-ready projects. Listing Regenerating Rajasthan on CEEZER is how we put India's community-owned restoration in front of the world's most discerning carbon buyers.

A programme built for the next phase of NbS
The CEEZER Carbon Coalition was designed to close the gap between project development and commercial execution, the point at which many promising restoration projects stall. Over the course of the programme, participants worked through buyer behaviour and financing structures, the complexity of evolving carbon-crediting methodologies, and the role of digital Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (dMRV) in building buyer trust.
For Medius Earth, the programme reinforced a conviction that has shaped the company from the outset: ecological integrity and community ownership are not trade-offs against commercial viability, but the foundation of it.
Regenerating Rajasthan: restoration with the community at its centre
Regenerating Rajasthan is a community-led landscape-restoration programme that pairs ecological recovery with durable local benefit. Working across the Aravalli hills belt, the project restores degraded land through community-owned interventions, generating verified carbon removals while rebuilding biodiversity, water security and rural livelihoods.
As the first Medius Earth project on CEEZER, Regenerating Rajasthan is now visible to the platform's network of institutional buyers as it advances toward issuance. The listing gives buyers an early opportunity to engage with the project's methodology, monitoring approach with Medius Earth's world-leading and proprietary dMRV capabilities and co-benefits, the kind of transparency that increasingly defines high-integrity demand in the voluntary carbon market.
