Nature Assets Consulting

The Nature Assets mission:

1. Helping marine conservation and restoration projects deliver maximum measurable benefits

2. Helping investors select projects that can generate high reportable returns for biodiversity and people

Turn the tide on biodiversity loss

Climate change is driving a biodiversity crisis in the ocean. Nature Assets can help you identify or develop projects that have the highest chance of delivering positive, enduring and demonstrated impacts for biodiversity and the people it supports.

Our approach is a multi-disciplinary, high-integrity process and a set of transparent guidelines.

Our method applies ideally to restoration or other intervention projects on coral reefs, seagrass ecosystems, mangroves and kelp forests

Why informed investments are needed

The global biodiversity crisis drives a growing demand for nature financing, with the funding gap estimated at around $800B annually.

While biodiversity loss cannot be abated without investments, only informed investments in projects that use effective and cost-efficient methods will deliver returns for nature and people.

Without insight into project feasibility, intervention efficacy, cost efficiency, and the ability to measure and report positive impacts with confidence, nature restoration and conservation projects can be risky investments.
