We build everything between a good idea and lasting funding for nature.
Great science and grassroots restoration too often stall when the grant runs out.
+Nature is the development layer that carries a project the rest of the way to durable funding, so the benefits flow back to the communities and ecosystems doing the work.
We never own the asset, issue the credit, or take a share of any deal. That independence is the point.

The Layer that Was Missing
Advocacy, science, and hands-on restoration are all well established.
What's usually missing is the connective work that turns a good project into a funded one — securing legal rights, getting the data and governance right, and packaging it so philanthropy, public funds, or nature markets can support it at scale.
+Nature is that layer. Working alongside scientists, community stewards, and partners such as Blue Green Future, we direct early-stage funding toward the groundwork that gets a project ready.
Then we step back before the transaction. That's how local and Indigenous partners move from concept to durable, community-governed funding.
"Take the value of a living nature, translate it into dollars and cents, and suddenly it becomes visible in the market system we live in."
— Ralph Chami, Co-Founder & CEO, Blue Green Future
How the +nature Model Works
Every project starts with meaningful participation from the people closest to the ecosystem. We shape the project alongside them from day one, so local priorities and long-term sustainability are built in from the start.
We help define and formalize how each project is managed and how stewardship continues after initial funding ends. Roles, responsibilities, and protocols are agreed upon up front so the work can outlast the grant.
We prepare each project for durable funding and match it to the right pathway. That may include grants, public funding, corporate partnerships, or, where appropriate, carbon and biodiversity markets supported by specialist partners.
We establish from the start how ecological, community, and economic outcomes will be tracked. That gives each project a clear way to measure progress, learn from results, and improve meaningfully year after year.

Nature, In Its own Words
Through film and storytelling, we make the value of living nature impossible to ignore — for ecosystems, communities, and the economy alike.
