Advisory
Kepri provides a wide-range of advisory services and capabilities to support its clients and portfolio companies in their sustainability journey
At Kepri, we guide organisations, businesses and destinations in building and implementing their nature-based strategies. Drawing on deep expertise in strategy, nature conservation, and sustainable travel, we deliver advisory services that help you embed nature into the heart of your mission, operations and offerings.
Nature and sustainability strategy and governance
Nature and biodiversity strategies
Kepri supports governments and public institutions in developing comprehensive biodiversity strategies, from national plans like NBSAPs to integrating the Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) across sectors and governance levels. This ensures effective coordination, practical implementation, and long-term monitoring.
Our advisory services include spatial planning policies, protected-area systems, and enforcement mechanisms to safeguard key ecosystems. Our work also covers nature-based solutions and ecosystem restoration, including afforestation, green corridors, and climate-biodiversity integration. These strategies strengthen resilience while delivering tangible conservation outcomes.
Sustainability, ESG, and nature strategies and programs
Kepri advises organizations — public, private, and philanthropic — in developing ambitious sustainability and nature strategies that integrate climate, biodiversity, and broader environmental priorities. The focus is on translating commitments into structured programs with measurable impact.
Our team also guides alignment with key frameworks and standards, including TNFD, and creates sector-specific strategies addressing nature and climate risks across operations and supply chains. For conservation and philanthropic funds, we advise on overarching strategies as well as conservation initiatives targeting specific species, ecosystems, or broader biodiversity agendas.
Sustainable travel and nature conservation
Strategies and governance for protected areas and reserves
Kepri works with specific reserves and protected area authorities to develop strategies, masterplans, and investment plans that balance conservation priorities with sustainable economic development. Our approach draws on experience with some of the world’s largest and most complex protected areas.
We apply advanced management planning frameworks and leverage a broad network of IUCN experts, conservationists, and ecotourism specialists that provides practical guidance. Our team also designs ecotourism and investment strategies to generate sustainable revenue streams that benefit both nature and communities.
Strategies of nature travel organizations and businesses
Kepri supports both public and private organizations in developing strategies for nature-based travel and ecotourism. Our team also conducts gap analyses using our proprietary Nature-Positive Travel Assessment Framework to identify opportunities to enhance conservation outcomes, visitor experience, and operational efficiency.
Strategies are tailored to align with conservation objectives, ensuring that tourism activities are economically viable while delivering positive impacts for biodiversity and local communities.
Developing ecotourism and investment strategies
Our team collaborates with ecotourism operators, architecture partners, and investors to design initiatives that integrate conservation priorities with sustainable business models.
Our advisory services focus on project structuring, financial planning, and operational design, helping organizations leverage nature travel as a tool for ecosystem protection and memorable visitor experiences.
Innovation, nature and sustainability
Innovation strategies and capabilities for nature
Kepri helps organizations integrate nature, biodiversity, and climate considerations into product development and innovation from the earliest stages. Drawing on over 20 years of experience in innovation management and sustainability, we embed environmental impact thinking directly into design, strategy, and operations.
Our team uses a proprietary sustainability-focused innovation maturity model to build lasting capabilities that drive nature-positive outcomes and long-term value creation. Our approach ensures that innovation initiatives are practical, measurable, and aligned with organizational goals.
Tech and innovation for nature conservation
Kepri supports conservation organizations in accelerating and scaling their impacts through the integration of advanced technologies and innovative approaches. We work with tech partners, financial institutions, and philanthropies to design solutions that enhance biodiversity protection and ecosystem restoration.
Our advisory emphasizes long-term partnerships and practical implementation, ensuring that technology and innovation contribute measurably to conservation outcomes while building sustainable capacity within organizations.
Nature (and climate) finance, valuation and investing
Ecosystem services valuations and economic cases for conservation
Kepri helps organizations and governments assess the value of ecosystem services and natural assets to inform policy, investment, and conservation decisions. We develop qualitative and quantitative valuations, translating ecological benefits into actionable economic terms.
We also conduct scenario-based analyses and cost-benefit assessments, projecting the outcomes of investments such as ecotourism or restoration interventions. Our work ensures that decision-making is grounded in both ecological and economic realities.
Funding mechanisms for nature
Kepri advises on tailored approaches to finance nature and biodiversity, aligned with the Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). This includes carbon and biodiversity credits, Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES), nature bonds, and hybrid funding mechanisms.
Our team also supports governments and institutions in establishing policies, exchanges, and long-term strategies that close funding gaps for conservation, ensuring sustainable financing for ecosystems, species, and biodiversity programs.
Impact venture building and investing
Kepri leverages experience in founding and investing in impact and social enterprises to support institutional investors and PE/VC funds in defining nature- and biodiversity-focused investment strategies.
We also guide corporate investors in building venture-building capabilities that align with long-term sustainability, climate, and biodiversity objectives, ensuring that capital contributes meaningfully to conservation outcomes while delivering strategic value.
