Thank you for visiting the Conservation Finance Forum's website. We hope you visit often. This site features information resources that bring new light to the practice of conservation finance and the education of conservation financiers. It does so through feature articles as well as expanding set of links to the following resource groups and interactive forums, including:
The key focus of the website is on techniques and practices that are innovative, and that bring innovative twists to tried and true conservation finance practices. We will be looking for ideas that are novel, significant, measurably effective, transferable and have an ability, or at least the potential, to endure.
The website is still in its formatives stages. We do now, and will continue in the future to value your ideas about how to present this information in the most practical and accessible format. And we are always happy to hear news you have to share about newly available resources and innovations in the field of conservation finance that merit the attention of the community-of-practice associated with the Conservation Finance Forum.

Just before Thanksgiving, a panel of conservation finance practitioners completed their review of essays submitted by more than 40 students from 17 colleges and universities in the United States and Canada. The essays were submitted by young people competing for the 14 North American student scholarships to the upcoming conference on Conservation Capital in the Americas, which will be held this coming January in Valdivia, Chile. In a parallel process, colleagues in Chile are in the process of evaluating another batch of entries from students competing for a second set of scholarships designated to bring Central and South American students to the meeting.
