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.

Triple returns

Cultivo exists to accelerate finance to regenerate nature. We do this by building portfolios of high quality natural capital that generate healthy financial returns that are good for nature and society. By doing this our goal is to unlock the supply of natural capital at scale.
