Three questions a funder asks. Three doors to an answer. Built on proprietary scorecards, public registries, and editorial discipline.
"Does this country pass the bar?"
"Does this project pass the bar?"
"Who's in this space?"
Canopy is a public resource on conservation finance in Africa.
It covers 261 tracked projects across all 54 African countries - methodology, certification, and current status. All 54 countries are ranked by the Canopy Country Score (CCS), a 0-100 composite built from political risk, protected-area performance, Article 6 policy readiness, and deployment activity. A weekly intelligence feed tracks what is moving across carbon markets, biodiversity policy, and philanthropic flows.
It is built for funders, family offices, and advisors who need to understand the landscape before committing capital - and for anyone tracking what is actually happening at the frontier of conservation finance.
The information infrastructure for this space is fragmented. Data sits across registries, government portals, and specialist publications. Getting a clear picture requires weeks of research most investors do not have time for. Canopy puts it in one place, kept current, explained clearly.
Canopy carries no advertising and no sponsored content. It has no commercial relationship with any project developer, registry, or operator. Scorecard ratings are published with full methodology, weights, and known limitations.
