Finance Solutions for Nature 2025

Example of natural asset company BOX 6 The Boreal NAC (2025) – $1.3 billion in ecosystem services under management Focus: Valuing nature’s full contribution for Indigenous land stewards The world’s first NAC, established by an Indigenous-led corporation, spans over 1 million acres of native-owned land. It aims to translate nature’s holistic value – including climate regulation, freshwater, food provisioning and flood mitigation – into today’s economy, tackling biodiversity loss, climate change and cultural degradation. In 2025, it secured two lead investors (an institutional investor and a family office) for its first private placement. Funds support growth, ecosystem maintenance, operations and an equitable benefits-sharing programme. The Indigenous-led corporation is expected to retain majority ownership in perpetuity.
