Ryan Sarsfield

Ryan joined EPIC to build a market for biodiversity credits in the U.S. and abroad, following many years focused on balancing habitat conservation and resource extraction in international land use. At the World Resources Institute, he led private sector engagement in Latin America for Global Forest Watch and helped develop GFW Pro for corporate and financial sector users to reduce tropical deforestation, focusing on soybean and cattle supply chains. Previous work included stints at the Inter-American Development Bank (MIF), WWF, the National Wildlife Federation, and the forest carbon industry. With EPIC’s expertise in wetlands, habitat, and species markets, he is working with biodiversity credit developers, investors, and landowners to make investing in nature a reality. Ryan holds a B.S. in Biology from Cornell University and a Master’s in Environmental Science from the Yale University School of the Environment.
