Oxygen Conservation has taken a significant step forward in its commitment to scaling conservation across the UK to deliver positive environmental and social impact.
With the backing of a £20.55m loan facility from Triodos Bank UK, the organisation has acquired 23,000 acres in Scotland – consisting of 11,390 acres of Langholm Moor, known as Blackburn and Hartsgarth, and an 11,610-acre estate at Invergeldie, near Comrie in Perthshire.
Rich Stockdale, managing director of Oxygen Conservation, said: “It’s only by creating these types of funding packages and frameworks with respected financial institutions that people can have the confidence to allow private finance to flow into natural capital at scale - thereby funding the protection of the natural world.”
