Strategic Alliances

We are looking for organisations to work beside, on specific projects, for years at a time.

One of the reasons is the counting. Four percent leaves this estate every year. Working closely enough on a shared project means the effect can still be measured once the sum has gone, the way everything here is measured.

Four percent that can be traced to a hectare of restored corridor or a school year completed is worth more to the cause than four percent absorbed into a general fund.

The first thing we look for is an organisation whose fieldwork changes how this estate is run, and not only where the funds go. If a conservation body finds something about the wildlife corridors around this hillside, we want to be the estate that acts on the finding.

The second is an organisation that publishes its results the way we publish ours, including the years when a project achieved less than it hoped for.

The third is an organisation willing to use the measuring on its own ground. Nature Asset Value and Return on Regeneration™ are published in full, and the Agaporia Research Centre exists so that anyone can pick them up. A partner who carries the method to twenty other landscapes is worth more to the cause than a partner who carries a receipt.

Until the alliances are settled, this page names no one. The four percent is committed regardless, and the sum accumulates from the day the estate opens.
