Natural Heritage Capital is a specialist investment firm dedicated to safeguarding Africa’s natural heritage by pursuing investment strategies for scaling nature-positive enterprises in Africa
PURPOSE
Safeguarding Africa’s natural heritage
We are dedicated to protecting Africa’s biodiversity and climate
To do that we will scale business models that provide nature-based solutions to climate change, support biodiversity and provide sustainable economic opportunities to communities that live in the periphery of biodiversity-rich ecosystems
investment strategy
Scaling transformational businesses
We invest in businesses that have the potential to achieve transformational impact and commercial return, where necessary by bringing in blended finance
We focus on nature-positive business models including responsible agriculture, sustainable food systems, renewable energy, and carbon projects
Approach
Rigorous and innovative approach
We believe that commercial viability of business models is a prerequisite to achieving transformational impact at scale
The early stage nature of opportunities in this space at times requires a longer time horizon, an entrepreneurial mindset and innovative partnerships with leading operators, public and private donors and communities
