One of the great challenges of our lifetime is balancing the need for economic development and growth with natural capital preservation. With reports highlighting the intensifying risks of climate change, population growth, over-consumption, and increasing human-made environmental disasters, the quest for better equilibrium in this regard is more urgent than ever, particularly in developing nations where much of the planet’s remaining biodiversity exists and where its citizens are unable to adapt.

Conservation Capital has a 20-year track record of designing and enabling conservation interventions that build social equity by engaging and benefiting human communities – particularly in parts of the world that have strong intersections of high natural capital value and low levels of economic empowerment and inclusion.
