Latin America is home to 40% of the planet’s biodiversity. Now is the time for capital to flow toward those restoring it.

Portfolio Builder
We transform diversity into comparability. Cacao in Ecuador, mangroves in Honduras, bio-ingredients in Peru — each project is unique, but can now be assessed using shared standards.
For investors who need to originate deals without reinventing due diligence every time.
Operational Rails
We design the minimum standards that make trust possible: verifiable governance, comparable metrics, traceability from day one.
For ventures that currently negotiate with different actors — each requiring incompatible formats.
Orchestration Layer
We connect worlds that have historically struggled to understand each other: the time horizon of capital and the time horizon of the forest, the logic of returns and the logic of territory.
For the entire ecosystem — because the bottleneck lies in the friction between them.

FAQ
Where regeneration becomes economic opportunity
Natura500 is a NaturaTech LAC program focused on creating the conditions for regenerative ventures across Latin America and the Caribbean to thrive.
For decades, capital has flowed in the wrong direction. Indigenous Peoples, Afro-descendant communities, and smallholder farmers who steward biodiversity have remained the last to receive financing — if they receive it at all.
Natura500 exists to change that.
We are the orchestration layer that transforms dispersed regenerative opportunities into a comparable, auditable, and finance-ready portfolio — demonstrating that economic viability, natural capital regeneration, and meaningful community participation can advance together.
We envision a Latin America where the economy is rooted in regeneration. Where ventures restoring soils, forests, and oceans — while creating well-being for the communities — have real access to capital and opportunities.
Our goal: to co-enable 500 green and blue economy ventures to thrive.
-
Regenerative Supply Chains — cacao, coffee, fibers, and foods that nourish both people and the land.
-
Applied Bioeconomy — ingredients, biomaterials, and active compounds found only in our forests.
-
Restoration with Returns — where restoring a mangrove is also a viable business.
-
Natural Infrastructure — where nature provides what once required concrete and steel.

América Latina concentra el 40% de la biodiversidad mundial, seis de los diecisiete países megadiversos del planeta, y el 22% de los bosques primarios que quedan en la Tierra.
Y sin embargo, recibe apenas el 4% del financiamiento climático global.
La brecha no es de activos. No es de intención. Es de infraestructura operativa: falta una capa que convierta miles de oportunidades dispersas en un flujo de proyectos comparable, auditable y listo para decisión institucional.
Across Latin America, entrepreneurs are transforming the relationship between economy and nature. They restore mangroves while producing. They cultivate beneath the forest canopy. They generate income while regenerating.
But they’re dispersed. Invisible to capital. Disconnected from one another.
The Radar changes that.
It’s much more than a mapping tool. It’s the entry point to a living ecosystem where ventures, investors, accelerators, and companies meet, learn, and build together the pathways that don’t yet exist.
