Investing in Rangeland Restoration: High-Impact and Large-Scale Investment Opportunities
Abstract
This brief introduces the STELARR (Sustainable Investments for Large-Scale Rangeland Restoration) initiative, which promotes private-sector investment in rangeland restoration through livestock and rangeland value chains. The document highlights the environmental, social, and economic importance of rangelands, the risks associated with their degradation, and the opportunities restoration presents for improving biodiversity, climate resilience, sustainable sourcing, and livelihoods. STELARR supports companies in meeting ESG and sustainability goals by providing restoration investment opportunities, monitoring and certification systems, stakeholder engagement, and technical support while generating financial, social, and environmental returns.
