Tenure Facility
"Indigenous Peoples and local communities live and manage more than half of the world’s land but they have legal ownership of only 10% of their ancestral territories. These rich biodiverse areas are vital to the people who steward them and the planet we all share. Reducing land conflict, advancing human rights, promoting development and contributing to sustainable climate solutions can all start with strengthening community tenure rights. The Tenure Facility works alongside Indigenous Peoples and local communities to advance their community land rights while sharing the knowledge, innovations and tools that emerge."
The Meloy Fund
The Meloy Fund for Sustainable Community Fisheries* was launched in 2017 by Rare, a global conservation organization dedicated to inspiring communities to adopt behaviors that protect natural resources that sustain them. Rare, as a mission-driven NGO, acts as the General Partner and Deliberate Capital, LLC, is the fund manager.
The Meloy Fund has been a first-of-its-kind impact investment fund, focused on proving the triple bottom line viability of investing in fishing and seafood-related enterprises that will lead to better management and protection of these formerly under-appreciated and undervalued natural assets. Working in the Philippines and Indonesia, the Meloy Fund is disrupting traditional local supply chain ecosystems to provide opportunities to local fishers to secure more sustainable livelihoods.
