Putting a value on nature that markets can act on

Biodiversity & Climate

Financing mechanisms — from biodiversity credits to ecological fiscal transfers — that keep Indonesia's megadiverse ecosystems intact and productive.

Background

Indonesia holds around 17% of the world's species across less than 1.5% of its land surface. Yet biodiversity remains largely invisible in fiscal and financial decision-making, appearing as an externality rather than an asset class.

The problem we work on

Existing conservation funding is project-based, short-cycle and donor-dependent. Without recurring domestic revenue streams tied to ecological outcomes, conservation gains reverse as soon as programmes end.

Our approach

We pilot ecological fiscal transfer formulas with regional governments, stress-test biodiversity credit methodologies against Indonesian tenure realities, and build the measurement infrastructure that any credible market requires.
