The Selva Fund

The Selva Fund is an open-ended fund that will provide finance and technical assistance to invest in bioeconomy activities, forest-based products and commodities value-chains for small and medium size enterprises. The bioeconomy activities are expected to contribute to the protection and restoration of the Amazon Forest whilst supporting sustainable livelihoods for local communities in the Amazon regions of Brazil, Colombia, Peru and Ecuador. The fund structure has been designed to be part of a broader SDG Bond Program with 6 other blended finance impact funds and will seek to mobilize additional private finance through capital markets.
