To ensure the long-term protection of critical ecosystems, Conservation International looks for ways to pay for conservation efforts that last. That means tapping into new funding sources and developing innovative financing that puts money to work for nature.
Our plan
From grants to loans to trust funds, many conventional financial instruments can be channeled toward “green” investments that have a big impact. Conservation International develops novel ways to finance the long-term protection of nature at scale. We do this by blending public and private financing, creating replicable business models that ensure returns on investments and convening partners to increase demand for investible projects.
Our thought leadership in conservation finance
By demonstrating the inherent value of robust, healthy ecosystems and wildlife, we’re proving that nature is a smart investment.
