New Conservation Finance Network Website Will Be a Hub for News, Events and Community

We are pleased to announce the launch of the new Conservation Finance Network (CFN) website. This fresh site represents a new partnership between the CFN program at Island Press, Yale Center for Business and the Environment (CBEY), and The Conservation Fund (TCF). It will bring together news, training opportunities, and a professional community for conservation finance. With this new partnership, it is our goal to stimulate high-leverage conversations and disseminate expert knowledge about how to finance conservation in the United States and internationally. By doing so, we aim to collectively support CFN’s mission to expand the use of innovative funding and financing strategies.

Our monthly email update, the new program newsletter of CFN, will feature news and multimedia content. It will invite readers to participate in CFN’s highly regarded boot camp training courses and other activities. It will also promote Yale’s Nature’s Returns webinar series and its podcasts. 

To bring new readers up to speed, we’ve created a glossary of industry terms and an article called Conservation Finance 101

To join the conversation via social media, follow our Twitter feed, visit us on YouTube, and connect with us on LinkedIn.

You can use our website to register for webinars and send us story ideas. Please share this notice and future newsletters with your colleagues who may be interested in joining the conservation finance dialogue or subscribing to our updates.
