Why Invest in Natural Resources?

CEI has been investing in farms, forests and fisheries for nearly thirty years - it's part of our roots. In the fisheries industry alone, we have mobilized over $40 million for 160 enterprises.

We invest because we value the resources and because, as a society, we have a lot to lose if we don't. Entire communities, industries, family incomes, and even cultural diversity will wither without targeted investment and preservation. Skyrocketing land values are forcing farmers, fisherman and small woodlot owners to sell. Meanwhile, depleted resources, regulation and foreign competition can drive many out of business.
