Increasing poverty and challenges arising from climate change further threaten the planet's natural systems.

As part of a pioneering movement to harness business towards effecting environmental change, The Nature Conservancy launched EcoEnterprises Fund in 2000 to provide investment capital to grow small eco-businesses in Latin America. There is a compelling need for financing this niche. Companies of this size truly drive change creating the engine for economic activity and generating livelihoods for bottom of the pyramid rural peoples which brings about positive social and conservation impacts.
