Tools to design, manage and monitor performance-based and sustainably financed ecosystem restoration and protection projects
Communities which depend on nature and the organizations which support them often lack effective and appropriately-priced tools for local ecosystem management.
We are a team of experienced community-based natural resource practitioners, and in response to the challenge, we provide highly effective and cost-efficient tools to NGOs and companies to help communities who depend on nature to establish and manage reef and forests banks.
Using our tools, communities supported by NGOs or companies, set up community-owned banks, from which loans to community members are issued. When community members repay loans and protect the environment, they receive a credit score which qualifies borrowers for higher levels of credit and lower levels of interest.
The GreenFi approach is founded on the recognition that credit systems are blind to natural resource overuse, and only by incorporating environmental requirements into credit terms can we create systemic incentives for environmental restoration rather than degradation.
