New Ampliseed Conservation Financing Strategies Resource
Common to all Ampliseed Projects is the need for long term, sustainable finance. Over five weeks in March / April 2021, we convened targeted conservation finance training and professional development sessions with members of the network. The program included an introduction to conservation finance and an exploration of different approaches used to financially sustain project outcomes via case studies from the field presented by the experts who conducted them. The stories and experiences of presenters then sparked valuable insights and reflections among participants about their application on the ground.
This report, Conservation Financing Strategies: Key Lessons and Case Studies, captures details of the presentations and discussions. It includes 4 modules:
- Introduction - Conservation Financing 101 with Eddy Niesten, EcoAdvisors
