BIRA is Africa’s leading Biodiversity Investments Researcher and Accelerator, serving as SITU’s flagship initiative in natural capital, and a key driver of SITU Climate Action.
BIRA bridges the gap between conservation projects and the capital they need to scale. By offering tailored investment readiness support, building Communities of Practice, convening a Funders’ Circle, and supporting nascent nature markets – BIRA transforms nature-based solutions into investment opportunities.
BIRA’s ambition is to unlock USD 30 million into biodiversity and nature-based enterprises, support five million jobs, and bring at least five million hectares under sustainable management by 2030.
