what we do
-
project finance assessment:
we review emerging options for funding nature and biodiversity, including blended finance models, voluntary carbon markets, biodiversity credits, and impact-linked bonds. our focus is on matching financial mechanisms to your project’s unique needs, scale, and risk profile, not on providing certified investment or structuring services. -

we help you shape a clear, robust business case for your project—quantifying ecological, social, and potential financial returns to make your initiative credible and attractive to funders, partners, and stakeholders. -
nature valuation & impact review:
using the latest frameworks, we assess and communicate the true value of nature in your project, including ecosystem services, biodiversity gains, and community benefits. we support transparent reporting for investors and regulators. -
insight on impact investing:
our advice helps you understand the world of impact investing, carbon or biodiversity markets, and non-traditional funding sources. we act as an independent sounding board—offering oversight, critical review, and practical recommendations on fit-for-purpose finance strategies.
