Week one of Funga's 2024 inoculation is in the books! Last year we inoculated 1 Million seedlings at one nursery location, and we are thrilled to report that this year we are inoculating multiple millions across multiple nurseries. One of the most powerful selling points of our work has been the inherent capacity to scale quickly, and we're making it happen in real time. Huge thanks to our crew onsite in Georgia, Ian Ware J.

Strut, pose, and slither. ?? Gabriela Hearst partnered with INVERSA Leathers during Paris Fashion Week to feature invasive leather in their Spring/Summer 2025 collection. Luxury fashion meets biodiversity preservation.
Unveiled on the runway during Paris Fashion Week, INVERSA??is proud to share that all python pieces shown in the Gabriela Hearst Spring/Summer 2025 collection were developed using INVERSA??python. ? By simply incorporating INVERSA??python, key collection accessories, from footwear to handbags, directly protect native animals and restore biodiversity in the Greater Everglades. ? As?WWD?Executive Editor?Booth Moore?wrote in her show review, "Speaking ahead of the show, Hearst was particularly proud of an eco-friendly material she was using for the first time on accessories — INVERSA??Python, an “ethical exotic” that protects the biodiversity of the Florida Everglades by hunting the invasive species for use as a leather product. There was something poetic about having the material crafted into her popular pointy Edwina pumps, letting goddess women slay snakes with every confident stride." ?

As Sightline Climate (CTVC) covered earlier this month, it's been a cool first half of the year for climate tech venture deals. In this month's Substack, we dove into why it's happening, what it means for nature tech, and most importantly, what founders can do to navigate the uncertainty. Get to the end for a short summer reading guide, complete with drone-toppling gulls ???, whale speech ??, and a scientific classification system for pasta ??.

Life finds a way, and so can we. Advances in biotech have unlocked a new suite of tools we can use to protect and restore nature. In this month's newsletter, we sequence some areas where biotech can benefit biodiversity. And, announcing our investment in Foray Bioscience. https://lnkd.in/gBvsUcZ2
Where Biotech Meets Biodiversity

Our reliance on the natural world for its bounty has become a one-sided relationship, where humans take far more than is sustainable, and give less back in return. Foray Bioscience helps mend that relationship. With their plant cell culture platform for materials, molecules, and seeds, Foray unlocks the power of plant-based manufacturing, and de-bottlenecks forest restoration with rare, native, and genetically diverse trees. We're proud to support Ashley Beckwith and Foray in this journey. Congratulations!
We are thrilled to announce the close of our $3M Seed raise led by ReGen Ventures with participation from Engine Ventures, Susquehanna Sustainable Investments, Understorey, Superorganism, and other incredible partners. Plants play a crucial role in our day-to-day lives, but today nearly 40% of assessed plant species are under threat of extinction. This reality strains our ecosystems, impacts climate stability, and threatens the availability of plant-based goods. New technologies are needed to ensure the survival of these natural resources and the access to plant products we depend upon.

Did you know: -67% of global deforestation by agriculture has been driven by expanding animal pastures and fields for growing animal feed? -Excess runoff from agriculture is responsible for 75% of global?eutrophication (the process that leads to algal blooms and dead zones)? -70% of all global freshwater is used for agriculture? To preserve biodiversity, we have to look at how we're producing food. In this month's newsletter, we dig in on some of the intersection points on agtech and biodiversity. We pulled out a few highlights and takeaways from our recent collaborative white paper with Sarah Garland, PhD and Triple Helix.

Agtech has a vital role to play in feeding the planet, while doing better for biodiversity. For World Biodiversity Day, we loved collaborating with Triple Helix and Sarah Garland, PhD on this white paper exploring intersection points and opportunities. Tom Quigley Kevin Webb Brittany DeGirolamo
Today is the International Day of Biodiversity and to mark the occasion we are thrilled to launch our report ??AgTech for Biodiversity Conservation ?? in collaboration with Superorganism, the first venture capital firm dedicated to biodiversity. Our new report outlines key ways #AgTech can play a direct role in tackling the main causes of biodiversity loss from #agriculture: land use conversion, pollution, and overexploitation of natural resources. With only 13% of original wetlands left and 32 million hectares of tropical forests lost between 2010-2015, urgent action is needed. Did you know that 25% of monitored species today are at risk of extinction? From curbing tropical deforestation by reducing agricultural land use to preserving aquatic ecosystems by decreasing eutrophication, AgTech solutions can help protect #biodiversity and foster more sustainable agricultural production systems. ??
