Defenders of Wildlife created the Marketplace for Nature [1] portal in the Conservation Registry [2] to highlight those projects where ecosystem services have been quantified or offered for sale. The portal links to habitat measurement tools that are necessary for reporting and/or selling ecological resources that are not currently regulated, with an emphasis on priority habitats at risk. Partnerships with diverse groups of resource professionals and market leaders create a unique new model for conserving priority fish, wildlife, and habitat.

How We're Helping

The Marketplace for Nature features projects affecting multiple environmental issues, such as habitat / biodiversity, endangered species, wetlands, carbon and air quality, water quality and quantity, fire risk, and soil conservation.

The portal:

• Helps buyers and sellers of credits to find one another through the Marketplace for Nature portal
• Helps people learn how to benefit from these new conservation tools by providing links to additional resources [3] Links to additional resources for more information about these new conservation tools
