Intern - Bankable Nature Solutions

WWF-NL is looking for an intern to support the broader Bankable Nature Solutions Network with analytical and communications related tasks and visualise data for Nature Conservation starting September 2026.

WWF sees redirecting financial flows toward nature-positive economic activities as a crucial pillar of conservation. Bankable Nature Solutions (BNS) and Landscape Finance Approach (LFA) are direct ways that WWF engages in supporting this transition. In the BNS Network team there is room for an intern.

The goal of the internship is understanding Financing Green and Greening Finance, two pillars of work for Finance at WWF and gaining experience in Bankable Nature Solutions and Landscape Finance Approach by supporting implementation of the landscape finance playbook and the broader Financing Green pillar with analytical skills, communication and project management related tasks.

What will you be doing?

Analytical tasks:

1. Supporting Landscape Finance Approach (LFA) implementation in three landscapes: Amazon in Brazil, Kafue Flats in Zambia, and Mekong Delta in Vietnam. Supporting research, analysis and synthesis of information related to LFA in the three landscapes, and helping to coordinate for relevant information to be noted to relevant colleagues for review and follow-up.
2. Supporting mapping of potential Green Financial Solutions and conservation financing initiatives in the three LFA landscapes and creating an excel based database which will help the network identify relevant activities.
3. Supporting development of a database that can be used to update potential pipeline from the landscape finance work, which the resource mobilization teams and corporate engagement teams can utilize for potential requests of projects from various stakeholders.

Communications related tasks:

1. Supporting BNS Network on developing BNS case studies about projects that receive support from WWF-linked BNS funds and facilities
2. Developing brief updates to be shared on communication channels, such as LinkedIn WWF BNS page externally, and WWF Finance Practice monthly newsletter internally

Project management related tasks:

1. Supporting coordination and communication with the landscape teams that will be implementing LFA
