Can Bio-Credits Save the Rainforest? The New Market for Nature


Support CleanTechnica's work through a Substack subscription or on Stripe.

Deforestation is accelerating, biodiversity loss is at record levels, and conservation funding still falls short by more than $700 billion a year. On this episode of CleanTech Talk, Dr. Drea Burbank, CEO of Savimbo, and Doug Heske, CEO of Newday Financial Technologies, join me to discuss how a new generation of “bio-credits” could transform how the world funds nature. From the Colombian Amazon to global investors, they explore how verified biodiversity credits and transparent funding platforms are reshaping conservation — and what it will take to scale a market that finally values ecosystems for what they’re worth.
