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
