COP17: Rangeland restoration offers investors up to six-fold returns – Experts
The experts, Mark Schauer, a Senior Programme Officer at GIZ and Abdrahmane Wane, Regional Director for West and Central Africa, ILRI, made the case for increased investment in rangeland restoration during a presentation of the new report on Rangeland investment at the ongoing 17th session of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD COP17) in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.
Investors could generate between $4 and $6 for every $1 invested in rangeland restoration, experts behind a new report have said, urging the private sector to see degraded rangelands as an investment opportunity rather than a charity project.
Mark Schauer, Senior Programme Officer at GIZ “From $4 to $6 can be generated if we invest with one,” Mr Wane said, explaining that the finding demonstrates that investment in rangeland restoration “is not just about charity” but makes economic sense.
