Unlocking New Ways to Fund Nature's Recovery
INNOVATIVE FINANCING
Nature is in crisis, and restoration is urgent, but funding is the biggest barrier. Traditional grants and donations can’t meet the scale of what’s needed.
Natural State is an international nonprofit based in Kenya, building practical, scalable ways to fund restoration so people, wildlife, and the climate can thrive together.
FINANCING MECHANISMS
Nature Credits
Credits tied to measurable biodiversity, carbon, and wellbeing outcomes, including support for existing standards like Plan Vivo, Nature Stewardship Credits, and rangeland-focused approaches.
Rewilding Units
A milestone-based mechanism that unlocks upfront funding to secure and restore new conservation areas.
For all our nature financing products, we ensure that the community engagement and buy-in processes are ethical and that project funds are distributed equitably and transparently.
Impact Bonds
Pay-for-success models where returns depend on real outcomes, like the Lion Bond and Whale Bond.
Impact Monitoring
All mechanisms are backed by uKweli, our impact monitoring portal that uses satellites, sensors, and machine learning to track and verify results transparently.
