Harnessing Natural Capital
Markets for Environmental
Stewardship
Natural capital markets are a cornerstone of Conservation+’s approach to environmental stewardship. By assigning economic value to natural resources, these markets incentivize the protection and restoration of vital ecosystems. Conservation+ uses natural capital markets to drive investments into projects that enhance biodiversity, improve water quality, and sequester carbon. This approach not only benefits the environment but also creates financial opportunities for landowners and investors who are committed to sustainable practices.

Nutrient and Mitigation Banking
Balancing Development
with Conservation
Nutrient and mitigation banking are crucial in Conservation+’s efforts to balance development with environmental conservation. By capturing and managing excess nutrients, nutrient banking prevents water pollution and restores ecosystems, while mitigation banking compensates for environmental impacts by enhancing habitats elsewhere. These systems offer sustainable solutions that ensure effective conservation alongside responsible development.
