Though traditionally popular investment vehicles, natural resources lost momentum over the past few years with the advent of financial futures and the continued growth of the U.S. stock market. However, they are now experiencing a renaissance as an increased tightening of oil, gas, grains, metals, and other natural resources is transforming them into a virtual, if not literal, goldmine of opportunity.

Resources Rock is an easy-to-read introduction to the resource sector as it gears up to take off for the first time in over two decades. Readers will learn how to invest in natural resource stocks, including diamonds, gold, base metals, oil and gas, forestry and fertilizer companies. For years, the average prices of shares in resource sector stocks, for everything from gold to diamonds to forest products, have been at record low levels. But it's not going to stay that way forever. North American and European economies are showing signs of making a long-awaited rebound in 2005, so manufacturers will have to start buying raw resources as fast as they can in order to meet the needs of their customers. Metal prices (gold, silver, etc.) have been rising in the past year and will continue to rise.

As the world faces unprecedented challenges such as climate change and biodiversity loss, the resources needed far outstrip the capabilities of nonprofits and even governments. Yet there are seeds of hope—and much of that hope comes from the efforts of the private sector. Impact investing is rapidly becoming an essential tool, alongside philanthropy and government funding, in tackling these major problems. Valuing Nature presents a new set of nature-based investment areas to help conservationists and investors work together. NatureVest founder William Ginn outlines the emerging private sector investing opportunities in natural assets such as green infrastructure, forests, soils, and fisheries. The first part of Valuing Nature examines the scope of nature-based impact investing while also presenting a practical overview of its limitations and the challenges facing the private sector. The second part of the book offers tools for investors and organizations to consider as they develop their own projects and tips on how nonprofits can successfully navigate this new space. Case studies from around the world demonstrate how we can use private capital to achieve more sustainable uses of our natural resources without the unintended consequences plaguing so many of our current efforts. Valuing Nature provides a roadmap for conservation professionals, nonprofit managers, and impact investors seeking to use market-based strategies to improve the management of natural systems.
