🎂 @OfficialZSL turns 200 today. Two centuries of protecting species, restoring habitats, training conservationists and creating change, all of it depending on people, communities, governments and businesses choosing to act for nature. Nature can recover. And the private sector can help make it happen. zsl.org/200 zsl.org/what-we-do/working-w… #ZSL200 #Bicentenary

Outcome bonds are not simply sustainable finance instruments, they are transition finance. Time-bound (usually 5 years), they mobilise upfront investment to establish systems that generate long-term, sustainable revenue and deliver lasting human-wildlife coexistence outcomes.

Replying to @OfficialZSL @IPBES
