Privately protected areas cannot be conserved indefinitely without investment in the landscapes in which they sit.
Mission
The conservation and restoration of private land - and the landscapes within which they sit - is increasingly at risk
Privately managed protected areas play a critical yet frequently overlooked role in conserving and restoring global biodioversity in a world experiencing rapid population growth and excessive pressures upon nature. We believe that the conservation and restoration of privately managed land in conjunction with investments in improved natural resource management and sustainable development in the wider landscape can play an important role in contributing to global climate and nature goals whilst increasing its asset value.
We create new income sources for land owners and land managers that allow them to secure Nature's future for the benefit of all stakeholders.
Offering
We offer three interlinked end-to-end service pillars to land owners and managers
Creating a lasting, positive impact on nature requires strong technical expertise and dedicated landscape management skills combined with the ability to design revenue models that in aggregate can positively change behavior. Given our long-lasting experience, we listen carefully and always tailor our solutions to address the specific drivers on the ground.
Assessment
We originate nature-based deals at ecosystem scale. We access private assets with the highest risk-return-impact profile through our global network. We provide technical carbon and biodiversity assessments of properties and related financal modelling.
Development
We lead clients through the 3-step project cycle and manage delivery of premium nature-based assets together with select industry partners and host governments. We guide clients through targeted interventions to optimize land management and sustainable development activities.
Placement
We place credits via advanced purchase commitments with select Tier 1 offtakers. We have significant experience with pricing and monetizing assets in an equitable way ensuring host country and local community benefaction in line with industry best practice and national legislation.
Approach
Our operating model to create financial and nature alpha
We work with land land managers and owners in landscapes of high conservation and restoration value experiencing substantial and sustained environmental degradation to address these threats. Working with key local stakeholders and government, we deploy financing into the conservation and restoration of these protected areas and surrounding landscapes, which ensures net positive environmental and social benefits are generated and distributed equitably.
