Together, we can help nature thrive
Welcome to Projects for Nature, a platform connecting business with nature recovery projects across England.
Nature recovery is essential for our economies, livelihoods, and climate. It sustains biodiversity, sequesters carbon, and benefits us all.
The Problem
Nature is in decline, and the UK is one of the most nature-depleted countries on Earth. Funding is critical, but the current levels of nature finance are far from the scale needed, leaving a financial gap which needs to be filled. Businesses and other donors want to invest in nature recovery but struggle to find suitable projects.
The Solution
Projects for Nature aims to connect businesses and other donors with quality nature projects, to help close the nature finance gap and recover the health of our planet. The more involvement, the bigger the impact.
What is Projects for Nature?
We are a pioneering platform, accelerating a movement to support nature by connecting businesses and other donors with projects to close the finance gap and recover the health of our planet.
How are we different?
We have established a unique collaboration of businesses, eNGOs, expert environmental bodies and government. We have created a single digital platform that makes it easy for everyone to get involved.
Our projects
Our projects are being delivered by organisations with a track record of delivering benefits for climate, nature and people and have been individually screened to provide confidence to businesses and other donors. Our projects align with local and national priorities and support the government’s strategic environmental ambitions by providing a wide variety of nature benefits.
How we can help you
Businesses like yours are already doing a lot to help nature. Projects for Nature can help you achieve even more. Through our platform, you will find projects of different objectives, sizes, locations, and nature recovery benefits. You can learn about their aims and how they align with your strategy and nature priorities.
Be part of a committed collective
When you support Projects for Nature, you are supporting a passionate and powerful collective.
Our committed collective is made up of the Council for Sustainable Business, Accenture, Defra, Natural England and the Environment Agency, with Nature Recovery Network Partnership and Wildlife and Countryside Link as collaborators. This group of organisations came together to put passion into action by bringing Projects for Nature to life.
We want to see more native species, wildflower meadows and woodlands. We can make that happen, and with your support, we will.
