How we invest.
With a pragmatic approach.

We take a pragmatic approach to investing in businesses in and around the Jaguar Corridor by blending finance, where needed. Our team considers each investments’ ability to:

• mitigate deforestation and biodiversity loss and restore where possible

• contribute toward addressing a funding gap of $12BN experienced by producers, farmers, smallholders and small enterprises in Latin America (Council for Smallholder Agriculture Finance, 2019)

• create a network among microfinance institutions active in and around the Jaguar Corridor

• help producers organize profitable businesses to improve their negotiating position and engage in equitable supply chain and business transactions

• create jobs in the regenerative bio-economy and enhance production using climate smart techniques

• implement and enforce conservation agreements

• attach financial values to biodiversity, species, ecosystem connectivity, and ancestral and indigenous knowledge through training and other tools

• generate, aggregate and monetize carbon benefits and ecosystem values
