2007 CONSERVATION FINANCE CAMP RESOURCES
2008 CONSERVATION FINANCE CAMP RESOURCES
The course provides a framework for analyzing and packaging a wide range of cutting-edge sources of private and public conservation finance, including new types of philanthropic funds, public capital and private investment. The focus is on useful, hands-on tools for conservation practitioners.
The sessions will feature many experienced conservation financiers as presenters, along with a knowledgeable core faculty. Speakers will describe case studies in such emerging topics as ecosystem service payments, conservation investment firms, public bond initiatives and the federal fiscal stimulus package.
This highly interactive course is limited to 20 participants. It offers attendees the opportunity to combine the multiple techniques often required to successfully fund conservation transactions, as well as to seek advice on their own conservation projects from experts in the field. The course will include a field trip and time to network with experienced conservation leaders.
