About
Water: Recognizing the multiple values, including supplies of clean water, which forests provide to people, Forest Trends has worked from inception to promote the use of incentives and market-based instruments to protect and sustainably manage watershed services. Forest Trends helped establish the Chesapeake Bay Fund, an innovative partnership between Forest Trends, the World Resources Institute, and the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, to restore and protect the bay's water quality. In 2010, we launched the first State of Watershed Payments Report, the first global survey of incentive and market-based instruments for protecting hydrological services. In 2018, USAID and the government of Canada made a major $28 million commitment to the natural infrastructure for water security project in Peru, led by Forest Trends and partners. Forest Trends also created the first-ever comprehensive online course on natural infrastructure for the water sector in collaboration with the Association of Latin American Water Utility Regulators (ADERASA) and financing experts at ECODECISIN. To date, Forest Trends has trained 126 engineers and water service providers (70 men and 56 women) in 13 countries in designing and evaluating nature-based interventions. The course is in its third - perennially oversubscribed - iteration.
