Cultivo

Natural capital, an asset class that values nature

Nature underpins the economy. More than half of the world’s total gross domestic product, or $44 trillion, involves activities that are moderately or highly dependent on nature. Natural capital is an emerging asset class that values the natural world, an economic approach that makes it clear why a tree is worth more alive than dead.

Our Approach

Watch our video to see how we unlock investment to protect and restore nature at scale.

Triple returns

Cultivo exists to unlock investment to protect and restore nature at scale. We do this by showing how investing in natural capital can generate healthy financial returns that are good for nature and society.

Financial Returns
