Fund geography
The Nature Conservancy’s Conservation Note is a fixed income product that channels capital to conservation-critical lands and waters, providing increased capacity to finance high-priority conservation projects around the world. Examples of projects include property being resold to a government agency, institution, or conservation buyer, with easements or restrictions in place to ensure that the Conservancy’s long-term conservation objectives for the project are met.
Private capital can therefore leverage public dollars for conservation. Individual and institutional investors earn a fixed rate of interest, while generating environmental returns that are measured in acres protected, landscapes preserved, and habitat restored.
Financial description
The Notes are backed by the full faith and credit of The Nature Conservancy and carry a Aa2 rating from Moody's.
Investor can select an interest rate of between 0% and 2%, depending on term. The Conservancy may honor early redemption requests at its discretion, but penalties will apply. The Conservancy may call and repurchase the Notes at any time. Please see the prospectus for more details.

Impact thesis
The bulk of the Conservancy’s resources — human and financial — are focused on working with others to execute the conservation strategies we develop together. In its early years, the Conservancy focused largely on land acquisition to achieve its mission to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends. Over the decades, in response to increasing environmental threats, we have expanded the array of methods and tools we use to achieve lasting conservation results. In each place we work, we tailor our approach to local circumstances — natural and human — using science-driven methods, tools and techniques that have proven successful in addressing conservation challenges. Our projects include compatible economic development; conservation land acquisition; market-based conservation transactions; innovative conservation finance; public finance campaigns; conservation-friendly public policies; restoring degraded lands; working with business, public agencies, and community organizations.
