Nature and biodiversity support critical ecosystems services: regulating climate, providing clean air and water, protecting coastlines, and supporting livelihoods and cultural activities. Abt Global works with partners around the world to protect, restore, and sustain the habitats, natural resources, and species that people rely on. Together, we restore ecosystems exposed to oil or hazardous substances; improve resilience and address climate risks; repair habitats degraded by improperly designed infrastructure; protect mangroves, seagrass and aquatic carbon sinks; catalyze investments in the blue economy; and advance nature-based carbon markets.
