Why attend
The session will highlight how Rangers can unlock innovative finance for sustainable funding of protected and conserved areas.

We’ll use existing case studies to show how rangers can optimise carbon finance and other schemes.
Session Description
Delivery of Target 3 of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework requires billions in funding, with innovative finance tools like carbon markets, impact bonds, and biodiversity credits poised to fill the gap. Rangers are the backbone of these mechanisms, implementing them and providing vital on-the-ground data, ensuring transparency, and validating results. From driving biodiversity credits to facilitating tourism investments and landscape restoration, Rangers play a central role in tackling climate change and fostering nature-positive economies. This session will showcase how Rangers bridge private capital with meaningful biodiversity outcomes, enhancing trust and value in carbon markets, facilitating outcome-based finance and managing nature-related risks to human assets. By highlighting existing case studies from the field, experts will discuss how Rangers can help scale conservation finance.Organised by
