By Luis Garcia, via WSJ Pro Private Equity

Ecosystem Investment Partners has raised $401.3 million for its latest private-equity fund to invest in environmental restoration and conservation projects across the U.S., a strategy that benefits from infrastructure development and the need to reduce its impact.

The Strategy

The firm invests in restoring wetlands, streams, and habitats for plants and animals. It also supports projects that promote biodiversity and improve water quality. The goal is to generate mitigation credits from this work. These credits are sold to project developers in industries such as oil and gas infrastructure, mining, data centers, renewable energy, and real estate.
