Alongside key local stakeholders, we help identify the most iconic and intact natural areas so that they can keep providing for us. The oxygen we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat – they all depend on other forms of life. Without the rest of the planet’s species, there would be no prosperity, no economy, no us. Intact wild places with thriving biodiversity also help absorb the carbon dioxide we emit, mitigating climate change. Not only does nature provide all our goods and services – it also restores us, calms us, and inspires us.
Effective natural resource management with strong long-term revenue streams includes sustainable tourism within protected areas, as well as regenerative agriculture, aquaculture, forestry and fisheries outside protected areas. By providing funding, strategy and technical expertise, we help interested communities, governments, and business partners unleash the potential of conservation-led economies around the world. In addition to helping build smarter supply chains from the ground and water up, we also help multinational companies improve their supply chains and connect them with responsible sources.
