"CSF's qualified team can produce the hard numbers that make the case for investing in conservation. This has proven to be an important way to generate buy-in from government ministries that tend to focus primarily on economic considerations."

Megan MacDowell, Executive Director, Andes Amazon Fund | Partner

For more than 25 years we have been using #NumbersForNature to understand the true costs and benefits of human economic activities on environmental and social well-being.

Journey through those 25 years with us and learn about our groundbreaking research, economic tools, and successful conservation strategies.

AFRICA

Our work in Africa prioritizes the valuation of the Continent’s vast natural resources capital to ensure funding for their protection. We will conduct economic research throughout the Continent to fill in any data gaps preventing local communities and protected area managers from getting the attention, support, or resources they need. By establishing a base of operations in Southern Africa, we can increase our efforts to train leaders across all sectors in the most strategic economic and financial tools for conservation.

BOLIVIA

CSF has been working in Bolivia to strengthen Protected Areas management, communicate the benefits of PAs to local economies, and direct more funding towards restoration efforts. Our Bolivia team leads a platform called Piensa Verde that collaborates with the private sector to build nature and sustainability into their priorities.

COLOMBIA

Our work in Colombia supports biodiversity conservation, sustainable development, and helps communicate the economic potential of tourism and sustainable agriculture.
