Partnerships

With our global hub at Stanford University, the Natural Capital Project is a collaboration among academic partners including the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the Stockholm Resilience Centre, and the University of Minnesota together with core implementing partners including Natural Capital Insights, The Nature Conservancy, and World Wildlife Fund.
We advance science and create actionable tools to bring the values of nature into decisions. Our work is inspired by, created with, and implemented through our global network of more than 150 research partners and more than 350 implementing partners in the public and private sectors.

Network Collaborators (Partial List)
In addition to working with our core partners, we collaborate with governments, corporations, universities, and other non-profit organizations to co-lead "use cases," integrate ecosystem services approaches into major natural resource decisions, and improve the state of biodiversity and human well-being by motivating greater and more cost-effective investments in both.
