Biodiversity Enterprise Funds

Biodiversity Enterprise Funds are highly flexible investment funds that provide debt or equity to companies that sustainably use or protect biodiversity, such as sustainable agriculture and forestry, non-timber forest products, and ecotourism. Funds are structured to cover the typically unmet capital needs (debt, equity, quasi-equity) of a wide range of biodiversity-related businesses. They are for-profit investment vehicles that provide financial returns to their investors. 

Aqua-Spark is a global investment fund based in Utrecht, the Netherlands that makes investments in sustainable aquaculture businesses that generate investment returns, while creating positive social and environmental impact.
