Okavango Capital Partners is pioneering Conservation-Lens Investing- an entirely new approach that supports companies which tackle environmental degradation in Africa’s most important ecosystems, as well as creating economic development opportunities for rural Africans.
Africa's remaining natural ecosystems are facing unprecedented pressure from demographic and market-based forces: fast population growth, increasing inequality between rural and urban populations, and rising vulnerability to climate change.
Markets have a key role to play in shaping how Africa's rapidly growing population will consume food, materials, energy and leisure. Businesses and investors have the power to cause significant damage, but also significant good to Africa’s ecosystems.
