Conservation Finance
Conservation finance refers to the financial mechanisms, instruments, and strategies that raise funds to support the conservation and sustainable management of land, water, and resources. It encompasses a wide range of activities, such as the provision of grants, loans, tax incentives, and equity investments for conservation projects, the development of market-based mechanisms like payments for ecosystem services, and the creation of innovative financing models like green bonds or impact investing. Conservation finance aims to mobilise public and private capital to promote sustainable development and to address the funding gap that exists for global conservation efforts.
