Conservation Strategy Fund
Conservation Strategy Fund (CSF) is an international non-profit organisation that advances conservation through economics and strategic decision-making. Founded in 1998, CSF equips environmental professionals, policymakers, and local leaders with the economic tools and analytical skills needed to make informed decisions that balance conservation and development.
The organisation specialises in training, applied research, and advisory support, helping stakeholders understand the economic value of ecosystems and the trade-offs involved in natural resource use. Its work spans areas such as fisheries management, protected areas, infrastructure planning, and climate policy, with a strong focus on real-world impact.
Operating globally, with a significant presence in Latin America, Africa, and Asia, CSF works closely with governments, NGOs, and communities to integrate economic analysis into conservation strategies. By bridging the gap between economics and environmental science, the organisation supports more effective, sustainable, and equitable outcomes for people and nature.
