What Happens When You Invest Money in Nature

Apr 10, 2026

How much does it cost to protect a forest, an ocean, or an entire ecosystem? And where does that money come from?

This special crossover episode between “After the Fact” and the World Wildlife Fund’s (WWF’s) “Nature Breaking” podcast dives into the topic of nature finance. And with an estimated $1.2 trillion needed annually by 2030 to halt biodiversity loss, this funding needs to be secured quickly and on a large scale.

Experts from Pew and WWF share how this funding is raised to support innovative, local conservation projects around the world, from not only traditional philanthropic sources but private sector and investor funding as well.
