Seneca Impact Advisors

A Strategic Model for Nature Finance

Seneca Impact Advisors works with institutions to shape and deliver nature-positive investment strategies. As a specialist impact advisory and development firm, we advance innovative financial solutions to scale commercially viable, nature- and climate-positive projects. Our mission is to mobilize private-sector capital to protect and restore the natural world, bridging the gap between conservation goals and investment outcomes.

Seneca was founded to bridge the gap between traditional conservation funding and private investment capital seeking returns. While interest in nature-based solutions is growing, few projects meet the criteria for scalability and commercial viability. We work with leading NGOs, governments, development finance institutions, multilateral agencies, environmentally driven entrepreneurs, and TNFD-aligned corporates to originate and develop projects that meet funders’ expectations for impact and performance.

As public awareness of the climate crisis, biodiversity loss, and resource depletion increases, so does the demand for nature- and climate-positive investment opportunities. Structuring bankable projects requires expertise in both conservation and finance. Seneca’s team combines a deep passion for the natural world with financial and technical expertise to build projects that deliver measurable environmental and social outcomes.

A Difficult Problem

Our global community faces significant challenges. The loss of biodiversity and the impacts of climate change are affecting people and ecosystems worldwide. Natural disasters are becoming more frequent, pandemics more likely, extreme weather more severe, and species increasingly at risk of extinction. Unsustainable practices in agriculture, mining, and energy production continue to drive deforestation, pollution, and the overuse of natural resources.

Healthy ecosystems are essential to human health and well-being. In response to these challenges, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were established. Yet, the global funding gap for nature conservation remains vast—estimated at over USD 700 billion annually.

This gap cannot be closed by governments and philanthropy alone. Conservation experts and asset managers have suggested that the private sector could help bridge more than half of this shortfall by building profitable businesses that deliver positive environmental outcomes.

Integrating nature-based solutions and sustainable practices into core operations can strengthen the business case. To develop commercially viable conservation impact projects, we must collaborate with businesses, financial institutions, and local stakeholders. By doing so, we can reduce pressure on ecosystems, build resilience for communities and nature, and generate meaningful financial returns for investors and local economies.
