The best conservation plan in the world doesn’t matter if there's no money to make it happen, but The Nature Conservancy has a wild new program that can turn sovereign debt into long-term conservation funding!
Melissa Garvey is the director of TNC's Nature Bonds Program, and in episode 134 she shares their strategy that is protecting huge chunks of the most biodiverse habitats on the planet! Listen in as we discuss how she translates finance and conservation issues for government leaders, how she stays connected to nature, and why her suitcase is always full of sand.
