LEVEL - A Conservation Business

WE ARE LEVEL

A global conservation business that creates a direct financial link between those who want to protect and restore our planet and those best placed to do so.

We are rethinking conservation by creating a new paradigm in which the global economy truly values the stewardship of nature.

About

Level ensures that local community efforts to protect and maintain the world’s most valuable natural landscape resources are valued and properly funded.

Our results-based approach recognises and values the contribution of those who protect nature, addressing the imbalance between the worlds of business and conservation.

We create and support models that channel funds from those committed to addressing the climate and biodiversity crises to those whose stewardship protects natural resources. Now instead of bearing the cost of conservation, they can now benefit from a commitment to manage and conserve it.

Community-led conservation

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.

We are reframing the relationship between global economics and global protection. Level carbon and biodiversity investments provide the link to the global financial system that enables local communities to earn revenues from the protection of their natural resources.

Level designs and supports the implementation of projects that not only recognise the role of local people in conservation, but integrally depend on their involvement.
