Three ways conservation projects are protecting biodiversity
Conservation & Biodiversity is a well-represented category on Keys for Tomorrow, with 292 tracked projects. Looking across the catalog, three distinct approaches keep recurring.
Protecting ecosystems takes more than goodwill — it takes financing, science, and materials that don’t undo the work elsewhere. Looking at real companies instead of category labels, three approaches keep showing up.
1 Put a market price on protecting nature
The first pattern is financial — projects that turn conservation into an investable asset, using carbon credits and forest-backed financing to make protecting ecosystems commercially viable.
Carbontribe
ReFi project using AI and blockchain to turn natural assets into tradable carbon tokens, simplifying credit generation and monitoring.
EcoForest
Leading forest carbon project developer in Europe, connecting landowners with companies to fund certified carbon capture initiatives.
Tropical Forest Forever Facility
Aims to protect tropical rainforests by unlocking private investment through an innovative financial model backed by national pledges.
2 Protect specific ecosystems and species directly
A second group works on the ground — protecting soil, marine life, and fish populations through targeted engineering and environmental science rather than financial instruments.
Terasol
Environmental engineering firm improving urban soil quality and preserving agricultural land through diagnostic tools like Exomap and Exosol.
Finsulate
Non-toxic antifouling solution that protects boats while safeguarding marine ecosystems, with significant fuel savings for owners.
Whooshh Innovations
Combines technology and fisheries management for safe fish transport, helping fish navigate obstacles while protecting native species.
3 Build sustainability into everyday materials and services
The remaining projects show conservation work extending into industrial products and community consulting — reducing environmental harm from lubricants and advising on biodiversity-focused strategy.
