The conversation was about the world of nature finance, drawing together investors, scientists, and entrepreneurs to chat about ways to help nature thrive.

Topics ranged from lab-grown meat and vertical farms to high-tech biodiversity monitoring. They covered why it’s tough to get private money into projects that protect plants and animals and looked at clever ways to use new tech and business ideas to close that gap.

Conclusions stood out:

- Private and public cash both count, but returns for investors matter.

- Tackling species loss needs more than one fix Some tech, like eDNA monitoring, makes tracking changes much easier.

- Business models that boost both nature and profits have real promise.

- Selling co-benefits, like carbon credits with a nature edge, can help.

In short, the group agreed that saving biodiversity isn’t about one big idea. It’s about mixing smart technology, creative funding, and real-world action. Collaboration will be the key to real impact.
