Enabling private investment to nature-positive activities in the Iberian peninsula: challenges and opportunity”
Detalles
Pioneering work in the Iberian Peninsula is being driven by both the private and public sectors, attracting private investment to nature restoration projects and facilitating the first pilots in biodiversity baseline measurements and biodiversity-positive project activities on degraded lands of these Mediterranean ecosystems.
Working together with expert organizations in the fields of soil eDNA, bioacoustics, NDVI analysis, vegetation structure measurements and fieldwork in different geographical areas (southern Iberian system; Sierra de Moncayo in Aragon; Las Hurdes in Extremadura, the challenges we face in trying to expand and broaden the current “carbon focus” of private investors can be illustrated with real examples.
During the session, existing opportunities for projects with a positive impact on nature thanks to advanced biodiversity measurements will be shown, which could generate certified claims or biodiversity credits. In addition, the participants, including Ecoacsa and the Biodiversity Foundation, will address the problems we are observing both at the local and rural level as well as at the corporate and financial level, promoting the necessary investments.
The Biodiversity Foundation will show how land stewardship is configured as a useful instrument to promote private financing for restoration projects.
