About the Journal
Independent coverage of how the world finances biodiversity conservation.
Our Mission
The Biodiversity Finance Journal provides independent analysis and reporting on how countries, organizations, and private sector actors fund conservation. We track over 150 types of financial mechanisms across 40+ nations, from ecological fiscal transfers in Brazil to blue bonds in the Seychelles.
What We Cover
Our reporting spans the full spectrum of conservation finance: government budget allocations, market-based instruments, private sector commitments, and multilateral funding flows. We pay particular attention to the gap between what countries need to spend on biodiversity and what they actually allocate.
Why It Matters
The global biodiversity funding gap is estimated at $700 billion per year. While political attention to nature loss has grown, the money has not kept pace. Understanding what works in conservation finance, and what falls short, is central to meeting the targets set under the Global Biodiversity Framework.
