Long-Term Community Benefits

Long-Term Community Benefits

Asia’s biodiversity and food systems face a massive funding gap, estimated at US$824 billion annually. Your investment closes this gap, fueling ventures that protect ecosystems and foster sustainable economies.

Why invest in Nature-based Solutions?​

We work with a range of public and philanthropic funders that share our vision for building and scaling ventures that deliver credible, expansive, and lasting impact in Indonesia. We are committed to sharing our learning and expertise, contributing to the growing field of knowledge around nature-based solutions and system change. Asia’s ecosystems are at the heart of global biodiversity, yet they face unprecedented threats.

A funding gap of US$824 billion annually leaves critical conservation and sustainable development initiatives underfunded, preventing necessary action.

As investors and grant funders, your support bridges this gap, empowering Terratai to support foundational, non-commercial efforts that build resilient communities, protect biodiversity, and create lasting change in the world’s most at-risk landscapes.
