CONSERVATION FINANCE

Conservation finance is a powerful mechanism that harnesses the synergy of private and public funds to generate sustainable revenues for forest health. Conservation finance

  • Channels capital into forest management projects that offer overlapping ecological, social, and financial outcomes.

  • Attracts private investment by quantifying ecosystem services to create a value proposition for beneficiaries, who in turn will pay for these benefits.

  • Utilizes partnerships to strengthen the financial foundation for restoration, reforestation, and post-fire recovery.

  • Reduces the burden on public budgets.

  • Increases the pace and scale at which these initiatives are completed.

  • Enables the long-term protection of forests and related natural resources, ensuring their invaluable benefits persist for future generations.
