Our Partners
International Land Conservation Network
We share information about conservation finance with the International Land Conservation Network and assist in their training efforts, including work with the European Land Conservation Network ‘s Conservation Finance Accelerator
The International Land Conservation Network (ILCN), a US-based global project of the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, connects civic and private organizations, land trusts, and individuals. Founded in 2014, it aims to accelerate the protection of land and water resources by fostering international collaboration, sharing best practices, and building capacity for voluntary conservation. The network concentrates on conservation finance, law and policy, organization and governance, land stewardship, and large landscape conservation. It facilitates peer learning through conferences (e.g., the Global Congress, an e-newsletter and resources like the ILCN Conservation Innovation Award.
The Nicholas Institute for Energy, Environment & Sustainability at Duke University
We partner with the Nicholas Institute to investigate successful strategies for increasing private investment in nature-based solutions.
The Nicholas Institute for Energy, Environment & Sustainability at Duke University accelerates solutions to critical energy and environmental challenges, advancing a more just, resilient, and sustainable world. The Nicholas Institute conducts and supports actionable research and undertakes sustained engagement with policymakers, businesses, and communities—in addition to delivering transformative educational experiences to empower future leaders. The Nicholas Institute’s work is aligned with the Duke Climate Commitment, which unites the university’s education, research, operations, and external engagement missions to address climate challenges.
US Department of Defense’s Sentinel Landscapes
We help those involved in the Sentinel Landscapes program understand innovative strategies for funding and financing their landscape conservation and military readiness objectives.
The Sentinel Landscapes Partnership is a coalition of federal agencies, state and local governments, and non-governmental organizations that work with willing landowners and land managers to advance sustainable land use practices around military installations and ranges. Founded in 2013 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Department of Defense, and Department of the Interior, the partnership’s mission is to strengthen military readiness, conserve natural resources, bolster agricultural and forestry economies, increase public access to outdoor recreation, and enhance resilience to climate change.

US Forest Service’s Cooperative Forestry Program
We work with the Cooperative Forestry Program to speed learning among its state coodinators about funding and financing of forest protection and stewardship.
The Cooperative Forestry unit of the USDA Forest Service works closely with partners to enhance and maintain forests across watersheds and ecosystems, both on private and public land, for the benefits they provide to the American people. Cooperative Forestry delivers its work through states, local governments, other federal agencies, non-profit organizations, and other partners leveraging additional resources and fueling innovation.

Yale Center for Business and the Environment
We work with the Yale Center for Business and the Environment to put on events and work with graduate students to develop case studies and other educational materials on conservation finance.
Yale Center for Business and the Environment (CBEY) provides a collaborative platform for ideating, incubating, and launching innovative action at the intersection of business and the environment. The center joins two graduate schools—the Yale School of Management and the Yale School of the Environment—together with an active network of leaders in sustainability. By equipping its students and field leaders with interdisciplinary skills and collaborative opportunities, CBEY is building pathways to help solve the greatest challenges facing the human and natural systems upon which all rely.
CBEY Student Writers
Some of our web content was developed in partnership with the Yale Center for Business and the Environment. Over the years we have worked with Yale students to create written content for our Resources page.
