Our origins

Human activity is destroying nature faster than it can replenish itself, which is pushing our ecosystems toward irreversible limits.

The survival of all species depends on halting and beginning to reverse this destruction of biodiversity — not tomorrow, but now.

Fortunately, we have the knowledge we need to take action. Unfortunately, we don’t have the luxury of time. The Global Biodiversity Framework’s ‘30x30’ Target calls for the protection of 30% of the world’s land, waters and seas by 2030.

Wedgetail was founded by Lisa Miller to reimagine regeneration and help bridge the gap to 2030. We finance nature-positive endeavours to accelerate the Earth’s regeneration — and to show others it can be done.

Our nature-positive approach

We invest in projects that simultaneously prioritise nature, business and people. Each of these focuses is important in and of itself — nature is the foundation of life, businesses support livelihoods, and people will be responsible for regenerating our ecosystems — but when they come together, they’re a recipe for a nature-positive world.

Value is not just economic

The long-term success of our species depends on us valuing outcomes for nature alongside economic benefits. We are committed to finding and fostering these harmonious new models in order to ensure we all thrive.

Ensuring livelihoods for local people

Land can only be truly protected when those who live, work and derive their livelihoods from it are actively securing its future and benefiting from this stewardship. We must learn from and work closely with the communities that depend upon these landscapes.

Threading knowledge systems

We must draw on diverse sources of knowledge — indigenous, technological, scientific, financial, entrepreneurial, agricultural and more than human — to steward our landscapes back to health.

Our team

We’re a dynamic team, with a rich array of backgrounds, determined to creatively and collaboratively find solutions to the biggest crises humanity’s ever faced.
