Resource description:

The Natural Capital Tool aims to support land managers and decision makers to:

  • Access relevant datasets and evidence by democratising natural capital information and making it accessible for all;
  • Save time and money through improved decision making, allowing users to take a strategic approach to land management;
  • Prioritise interventions so that the environmental benefits from nature can be provided to the communities, habitats and wildlife that need it most;
  • Examine the gains and losses in ecosystem services and habitat connectivity associated with different land use interventions; and
  • Align with emerging nature finance markets by helping users to collaborate at the landscape scale, allowing users to aggregate investment opportunities.
