We growcompanies that helpnature recover andthrive.

By blending catalytic philanthropy with private capital, Terratai de-risks investments in early-stage ventures that protect, restore and manage Asia’s critical ecosystems.

Why we are doing this

Nature is essential to our economies, communities, and everyday lives. Yet biodiversity loss, ecosystem degradation, and unsustainable food systems are putting increasing pressure on the natural world we depend on.

2.7bn
people depend on nature for at least one of their most basic needs.
63%
of global GDP ($19 trillion) is at risk from nature and biodiversity loss.
34%
of global emissions are generated through food systems.
$700bn
is needed annually to safeguard nature.

To protect and restore our natural ecosystems, we must transform how we value nature and biodiversity in our economy.

At Terratai, we believe that investing in and supporting business models that protect, sustainably manage, and restore our natural ecosystems is a vital step towards reversing nature and biodiversity loss.

How we do things differently

We bring together the capital, expertise and long-term support needed to help nature-based businesses grow. By combining catalytic philanthropy with private capital, we help early-stage ventures bridge the gap between promising solutions and the financing they need to grow.

We work alongside these businesses over the long term, strengthening their foundations, supporting their growth and helping them deliver lasting value for nature and communities.
