The Realms to Watch Program

The Realms to Watch program features realms from around the world which have been vetted and are qualified to sell their BioCultural Units (BCUs). We've started with seven Realms to Watch.

If your Nature Realm has earned BCUs and involves a local, verified financial entity to manage and distribute funds, you may want to apply as a Realm to Watch candidate. Use this link to apply. The latest selection round of applications closed on 25th April, 2024. However, the application form remains open for the next selection round.

How does Realms to Watch work?

After selecting the initial seven Realms to Watch, which we have vetted, we will allow them to sell their BCUs on the marketplace. We work with each Realm Representative to ensure their nature restorations projects are accurately reflected in investment material and that funds are properly managed.

Ultimately it's about channeling more capital into on-the-ground projects that are restoring the nature and its communities. How do we select the Realms to Watch? We are looking for Realms that have engaged communities and projects that will significantly raise their BioScore. See the application form for more information. What else do we get? You also join a network of Realms that are pioneering a nature share marketplace to give financial returns to you and your community members for their nature custodianship. Nature repair is underfunded by an estimated US$722B per year. Private capital can fill that gap, but investors want good financial returns while also feeling confident they’re truly helping restore nature. The Realms to Watch program positions your Realm as a leader in the transformation from a world in which bio-cultural nature restoration is seen as mere charity work to one where it's absolutely fundamental to the global financial marketplace.
