EO Wilson, the great biologist & conservationist, is someone I thought a lot about over the recent holidays, two years following his death. I share memories of the great man here: lnkd.in/eC3waCmr

Gracias @GQuijandriaA—falta juntarnos y mucho más, pero oportunidades hay para hacer cosas importantes en este campo. Como los gobiernos no tienen los fondos para financiar bien la #conservación de la #biodiversidad, toca crear soluciones nuevas. @CPICfinance @CornellDyson
Nuestro compatriota @JohnTobinBridge está abriendo camino en ese tema a nivel mundial. En el país tenemos las capacidades, falta juntarnos...

A nice new arrival from brother Bruce, just in time for COP. #FamilyBusiness @ColumbiaBusine2 @UNEP_FI @PRI_News @dealbook
Scaling up biodiversity finance is key.
85% of the funding comes from public sources, but private sector can help to close the financing gap, through financial mechanisms that generate revenues for biodiversity ‘infrastructure’. @CreditSuisse @GlobalCanopy @BiodiversaPlus @EIB
A great event that came from a great collaboration … a pleasure to get @IUCN and @CPICfinance + guests in a room to discuss scaling private, return-seeking #capital—in collaboration with #philanthropy and government—for #biodiversity. @CornellDyson @AtkinsonCenter
Great event together with @IUCN during #ClimateWeekNYC yesterday!
Speakers from @Cornell, Intrinsic Exchange Group, Clarmondial, @citi, @EcoAdvisors @nature_org and @southpoleglobal discussed how to scale finance for #nature through public-private partnerships

What is holding the private sector back from investing in #NatureBasedSolutions? In short: financially viable projects.
A new @southpoleglobal & @wwf_uk report explores success factors to improve #NbS bankability and mobilize private finance for #nature

Another perk of a conference being located in Rochester is it’s close proximity to the beautiful gorges of Ithaca!

One of the great gifts you can give yourself and others is refusing to believe that you must agree with a person to like or respect them. Don't burden friendship with the obligation of agreement. Kindness, patience, and generosity are transcendent. Agreement is transient.
See you there! Dean Andrew Karolyi @CornellMBA @CornellSHA @CornellDyson will be giving remarks on the role of #finance research and education in addressing the #BiodiversityCrisis. @IUCN_business #climate

EO Wilson, perhaps the most influential biologist of the late 20th/early 21st centuries, recently left for ‘the great rainforest in the sky’. My informal remembrance of life as his grad student: files.ctctusercontent.com/95… @mczharvard @tropicalstudies @cornelldyson @AtkinsonCenter
