Co-Op Conservation Bank

 

i2 Capital developed the Co-Op Conservation Bank (CCB) model, a new approach that partners with ranchers to reward stewardship of working lands while supporting biodiversity on a watershed scale.  The CCB funds and quantifies the outcomes of best management practices for Greater sage grouse (GSG) habitats, and provides biodiversity units (GSG Credits) to offset the impacts of energy development in a pristine Rocky mountain landscape. This innovative approach to private sector conservation aligns environmental, energy and impact investment interests to drive environmental outcomes alongside sustained financial support for ranch stewardship.  i2 Capital is the principal sponsor of The Upper Green River Conservancy™, the nation’s first Co-Op Conservation Bank™ based in Wyoming’s pristine Upper Green River Basin.
