A Level perspective on new and emerging financing opportunities for biodiversity conservation We have arrived at a tipping point for global conservation. Finally, governments, international agencies, private finance, market organisations, academics and standard agencies are taking biodiversity seriously1. As biodiversity markets develop, they could revolutionise the speed, scale, quality and social impacts of conservation efforts. While
Indigenous people and local communities are the most effective stewards of nature. When they have reliable, secure rights over their natural resources and receive appropriate compensation for their efforts to protect and manage them, powerful results in climate action are possible.
