Conservation Finance Scoping Paper 2018
Expanding finance opportunities to support private land conservation in Australia
On behalf of the Australian Land Conservation Alliance, Trust for Nature undertook a desktop review of both international and domestic finance approaches which may be deployed and/or expanded to support private land managers in restoring, conserving and managing Australia’s landscapes, waterways and populations of threatened species. 26 major finance approaches – spanning philanthropic giving, government financing and private investment – were assessed as to their relative deployment complexity, scalability and suitability in addressing Australia’s conservation finance gap.
