Introducing: Ecological Ensurance - permanent ecosystem & biodiversity protection
Do you have a ecosystem/site/project that needs permanent protection?
Based on the work we are doing with #RealValue we have the basis for what we call Ecological Ensurance.
Ensurance is the financial model that Ensures ecosystems and the benefits they provide will permanently be protected. The Ensurance Premium is calculated off of the relationship between the annual RealValue, capital providers, and the underlying real asset cost/value. This relationship calculates cost options to put the ecosystem Entrust either today, 2030, 2040, or 2050. We can even do a custom # of years or year by year. It works for non-profit capital providers or market rate investors, both of which we call Ensurers.
In any scenario the land is protected from day one while it is Ensured and goes into Entrust based on the cost/time scenario selected. Our model helps get the land part funded and creates room for both Environmental Stewardship and Outcome based crediting.
Below is an example of a demo site consisting of 100 acres of river, wetlands, & forest in the Southeast Savannas & Riparian Forests Bioregion.
Annual RealValue: $1,094,101
Natural Cap Rate: 166% on Real Asset value of $660k
