Integrating Ecology and Economy

Nature Wealth Foundation mobilizes capital for high-integrity conservation projects that protect and restore critical ecosystems — creating lasting economic value for people, climate, and biodiversity.

Amazon Basin, Brazil

We pioneer Naturepreneurship for lasting impact.

A thriving economy depends on a thriving planet—yet our most valuable ecosystems remain underfunded and at risk. By combining deep conservation expertise with financial innovation, we design investment structures and nature-focused business models that channel capital into high-integrity nature projects and to the communites supporting them.

Annual funding gap for nature

$700 billion

Current global investment in nature covers less than 20% of what’s needed to halt biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse. The opportunity is vast—and urgent.

Climate mitigation can come from nature

Up to 30%

Nature-based solutions could deliver nearly a third of the emissions reductions needed by 2030 to meet the Paris Agreement targets.

Economic value for every $1 invested

$27

Nature-based solutions already deliver strong returns through avoided damages, increased resilience, and long-term resource security.

Nature Priority Areas

Nature is unevenly distributed. That’s why we focus on projects in regions of exceptionally high ecological value. These areas are home to the world’s most threatened species and some of the planet’s most powerful carbon sinks — irreplaceable ecosystems that are essential to planetary resilience.

Nature Priority Areas combine the planet’s most powerful carbon sinks with its richest biodiversity hotspots.

Toco Toucan

Tropical forests, wetlands, and mangroves store up to five times more carbon per hectare than other ecosystems—making them essential for climate stability.

Buenaventura Tropical Forest

Biodiversity hotspots cover just 2.4% of the Earth’s surface, but they support more than half of the world’s plant species as endemics.

We are a dedicated team with experience in nature conservation, working at the intersection between applied conservation, innovation and finance.

Our mission is rooted in the protection of nature. We see economic incentives as powerful tools to safeguard climate and biodiversity—provided they are aligned with the principles of conservation.
