Conservation International uses science, policy and partnerships to protect the nature that people rely on for food, fresh water and livelihoods. Alongside dozens of local and global partners, CI’s Conservation Finance Division finds innovative and lasting ways to keep forests standing, waters flowing and habitats intact, all the while empowering local communities and improving livelihoods. In the last decade, CI has raised and deployed with partners over $500 million using a range of investment vehicles, including trust funds for protected areas, conservation agreements to benefit local communities and a diverse mix of grants, loans and bonds
