R4N Episode 9: Adam Davis

In this episode, we dive into the U.S. mitigation banking market as part of our ongoing exploration of compliance models and regulated markets. Helen Avery is joined by Adam Davis, co-founder and managing partner of Ecosystem Investment Partners (EIP), a private equity firm that has raised over $1 billion and restored more than 53,000 acres of wetlands and 260 miles of streams across the U.S. since 2007. Adam shares an in-depth look at what’s actually happening on the ground. He walks us through how EIP set up mitigation banks - from identifying suitable locations to developing and selling credits. Adam also shares key insights into investor appetite, and what’s driving increased interest in nature-based investment opportunities. The episode also explores what has enabled the U.S. mitigation banking market to scale as it has, with some of the key lessons learned, why it remains attractive to investors, and how other countries could replicate its success.
