key challenges
regional collaboratives struggle to fund landscape-scale conservation when ownership is fragmented and funding sources are project-based rather than systems-focused.
fragmented funding
grant programs fund individual projects but not the sustained, coordinated action needed for landscape-scale outcomes.
coordination complexity
multiple landowners, jurisdictions, and stakeholders must align—each with different timelines, priorities, and capacity.
scale mismatch
ecological processes operate at watershed and landscape scales, but most funding and governance structures are parcel or project-based.
sustainability gap
short-term grants fund restoration but not the long-term stewardship needed to maintain outcomes.
how ensurance helps
structure landscape-scale ensurance instruments that aggregate multiple properties into coherent investment opportunities
create sustained funding flows through certificates that support ongoing stewardship, not just one-time projects
establish unified MRV systems that track outcomes across the landscape and report to multiple stakeholders
attract institutional capital seeking verified, landscape-scale natural capital exposure
build syndicates that pool diverse funding sources—public, private, philanthropic—into coordinated strategies

use cases
real-world scenarios for regional collaboratives
watershed-wide restoration
a watershed council aggregates 40 landowners into a unified ensurance structure funding coordinated restoration across 200,000 acres—stream buffers, wetland reconnection, and forest health.
wildlife corridor funding
a land trust consortium creates ensurance certificates for a 300-mile wildlife corridor, funding easements, restoration, and ongoing management across multiple properties.
fire-adapted landscape
a fireshed collaborative structures a syndicate funding fuel reduction, prescribed fire, and post-fire restoration across a regional landscape, with premiums flowing to participating landowners.
source watershed protection
a regional water collaborative issues certificates funding forest protection and restoration across multiple ownerships in a shared source watershed, with downstream utilities as anchor investors.
