SynopsisThis book is the result of a remarkable conference that brought together more than 100 conservation finance experts and practitioners from North, Central, and South America. They met in Valdivia, Chile, in January 2009 to share insights across a spectrum of practice areas, from tax-related initiatives to limited development, conservation investment banking, financing sustainable development and ecosystem services, and more. Perspectives are offered by authors from such diverse institutions as The Harvard Forest, Universidad Austral de Chile, The Nature Conservancy, Open Space Institute, and the Peruvian Ministry of Transportation. The case studies and situational analyses offer a window on the contours of conservation finance across the hemisphere in the early twenty-first century. This book is published by the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy in collaboration with Island Press, the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation at the Harvard Kennedy School, and the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies at Harvard University., Conservation finance innovations are central to protecting ecosystems. Through case studies, this book shows environmentalists and policy makers how to find the financial, human, social, and natural capital to steward the earth's resources for future generations.
