Billions for Nature: How Private Capital Is Funding Ecological Restoration with Adam Davis

The Regenerative Real Estate Podcast

Across every continent, degraded landscapes tell a sobering story: wetlands drained, forests cleared, tidal flats diminished. The tragedy isn’t that humanity lacks the knowledge to restore them—we know how to bring these ecosystems back. The real challenge lies in how to finance restoration at scale.

In this episode we sit down with Adam Davis, co-founder of Ecosystem Investment Partners, a firm that has channeled over a billion of dollars into restoring ecosystems. The discussion dives into the world of mitigation banking, a financial mechanism that has unlocked private capital for large-scale ecological restoration. For many, it’s an unfamiliar concept, but as Adam explains, it has become a powerful tool for revitalizing degraded landscapes.
