Financing nature-positive action

Terrafund for AFR100 is an initiative by One Tree Planted and its partners. The goal is to help local people in Africa to grow trees, which will in turn develop sustainable livelihoods that create an alternative to deforestation, and enhance their livelihoods. This initiative consists of two organizations Herp Ghana and Hen Mpoano. Herp Ghana focuses on amphibian conservation through habitat restoration and community engagement, through tree planting and income enhancement for rural communities. Hen Mpoano supports coastal communities through integrated management of coastal and marine ecosystems, emphasizing mangrove restoration, beekeeping, and organic farming for environmental conservation.

Blue Alliance aims to regenerate coral reefs and strengthen coastal livelihoods in Indonesia by expanding their co-management model for Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). Building on successful implementation across 16 MPAs in Central Sulawesi (600,000 ha), the new project will establish co-management agreements with the Provincial Government of Maluku to protect an additional 1.1 million-hectare MPA. This work is embedded in their Blue Finance Impact Facility, a blended finance mechanism that develops reef-positive businesses in aquaculture, sustainable seafood, ecotourism, and blue carbon, connecting ecological restoration with local income generation. Revenues from these enterprises are reinvested into MPA management, creating financially self-sustaining conservation systems that support fisherfolk, enhance biodiversity protection, and mobilize blended finance for long-term impact.
