​Nature Hawker Club

​Nature finance, and mid-week conference revival — an informal Lau Pa Sat gathering for Ecosperity Week attendees.

​By Tuesday night, we’ll be halfway through Ecosperity Week — two days down, two to go — and about 1,322 days from 2030.

​Which is both inspiring and mildly alarming.

​So yes, we should absolutely keep attending panels.

​But we should also probably have a drink and talk honestly about what is actually going to move the needle on the large gap between ambition and reality of 2030 nature goals:

• ​Who is funding restoration before revenue exists?

• ​Who is actually ready to pay for biodiversity outcomes?

• ​How do we get capital to communities and landscapes before 2030 becomes a post-mortem?

​Nature Hawker Club is for the people who are working on, funding, buying, building, debating, or quietly trying to understand the fast-moving world of biodiversity credits, carbon credits, nature markets, conservation finance, and nature-based solutions.

​Let's keep the conversation going after the conference lights come down — over satay, drinks, and possibly a few unfiltered opinions about nature.

​No panels.

​No presentations.

​No lanyards required.

​

​Who should come?

• ​Ecosperity Week attendees

• ​Biodiversity credit builders, buyers, and skeptics

• ​Nature finance and conservation finance people

• ​Carbon market practitioners expanding into nature

• ​Project developers and restoration operators

• ​Investors, corporates, philanthropies, NGOs, and policymakers

• ​MRV, data, AI, and monitoring folks

• ​Anyone who believes the best conference conversations happen after the badge comes off

​Host note

​Hosted by Lee Pearson / Wovoka as an informal community gathering.

​This is not an official Ecosperity, Temasek, WWF, Hatch Blue, or EDB event — just a casual meet-up for people in Singapore who want to connect around biodiversity credits, nature finance, restoration, and nature-based solutions.
