Tiger Landscapes Investment Fund

Target 19 of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework calls for leveraging private finance and blended finance for biodiversity. The biodiversity financing gap is about USD 400 billion/year. In Asia, tiger landscapes represent not only tigers but also rich biodiversity and culture. In April 2024, under the patronage of Her Majesty the Queen of Bhutan Jetsun Pema, a conference on Sustainable Finance for Tiger Landscapes took place. The Tiger Conservation Coalition (TCC) committed to helping tiger range countries unlock USD 1 billion for these landscapes. The Tiger Landscapes Investment Fund, a blended finance tool, will collaborate with national financial institutions, NGOs, and local entrepreneurs to develop investable nature-positive projects and unlock private funding through credit enhancement. The project will strengthen local institutions to continue supporting nature-positive ventures after its conclusion.
