Natural Investments

Bridging the gap: protecting biodiversity through investment

About us

Natural Investments is an impact-first investment holding company, committed to preserving Africa's vital wilderness areas.

Specialising in nature-based investments, we aggregate and direct capital into conservation projects that restore and protect biodiversity, enhance local livelihoods, and generate returns for investors. 

As a subsidiary of Natural Capital, we provide tailored investment opportunities for individuals and organisations eager to make a meaningful, sustainable impact combined with financial returns.

  • Nature's funding crisis

    An absolute imperative exists: the critical need for sustainable financial solutions to augment conservation efforts. Nature is vital for our well-being and economies. Over half of global GDP relies on the balance of nature and its services. Despite this, conservation efforts are woefully under-financed.

  • Innovative solutions

    At Natural Investments, we are dedicated to investing in market-based solutions that bridge the funding gap and protect our ecosystems. Leveraging Natural Capital’s expertise, we have developed a robust portfolio of nature-based opportunities that generate returns for investors, while creating positive change for communities and the environment.

  • Inspiring change

    Natural Investments is leading the way when it comes to nature-based investment models, aligning financial success with positive environmental and social impact. We aspire to set a precedent for future investment practices that will emphasise the value of market-based solutions to complement philanthropic funding for nature, fostering greater sustainability and scalability in conservation financing.
