Camille Rebelo

Camille Rebelo is the Co-Founder & CEO of EcoPlanet Bamboo and has been responsible for the origination, implementation and management of >35,000 hectares, spanning three continents and five countries. Through EcoPlanet, Camille has been responsible for the development of global and local frameworks within which bamboo can be a viable alternative fiber for major industries - with a focus on pulp & paper and clean energy - facilitating the transition to a net zero world. She has combined a decade of pioneering work allowing bamboo to be a tool for landscape restoration, while reducing deforestation through the provision of a scaleable, “deforestation free” biomass. This has gone hand in hand with the development of key global partnerships towards clean and innovative manufacturing solutions.

Prior to co-founding EcoPlanet, Camille developed and managed forest and carbon projects ranging from from commercial plantations to smallholder operations in >20 countries across Latin America, Africa and Asia. She is an expert in sustainable forest certification and nature based solutions, and through early involvement with the UNFCCC and voluntary carbon markets developed some of the first successful forest carbon projects globally. Camille holds a BSc from Imperial College, London, and a Masters in Environmental Management
