Creating landscapes with healthy, functioning ecosystems is not only key to making progress towards the environmental targets embedded in the Sustainable Development Goals, but also to addressing multiple social and economic targets that depend partly or wholly on the benefits that ecosystems provide to people. There are clear economic and social rewards for business and government that create connected landscapes that support healthy, functioning ecosystems. These ecosystems provide benefits to people and nature, and can help governments move towards the achievement of their NDC targets under the Paris Agreement, while also contributing towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The outcomes of connectivity represent bankable returns for our production landscapes and they have an unrealized potential to spur the growth of new investment models to scale-up landscape connectivity.
