In this episode of the podcast YourForest, host Matthew Kristoff and forester Shauna Matcovich discuss the role of private investment in funding sustainable forestry. Matcovich, the founding director of The ForestLink, explains that in order to protect forests, it's necessary to connect their intrinsic value - like biodiversity and ecosystem health - to a monetary economy. The conversation explores how private capital can be used as a tool to drive conservation and build a more resilient forest industry.
