We propose applying the regulatory sandbox to conservation. Developing a regulatory sandbox for nature is about recognizing where a potentially su ccessful solution to a conservation issue is repeatedly impeded by a regul atory barrier and then creating the space to test solutions outside the no rmal regulatory structure. Sharing lessons learned and changing policy to support innovation and creativity are potential outcomes of developing a s andbox for nature.\nPhoebe Higgins\, Director of Markets\, Environmental P olicy Innovation Center\n\nAs Director of Markets for Environmental Policy Innovation Center\, Phoebe works on expanding the use of environmental ma rkets and data technology to speed up and scale up conservation. She is cu rrently developing policy recommendations for private land conservation in the Midwest and researching new data technology tools that reduce environ mental impacts from power utilities.\n\nPhoebe previously worked at Enviro nmental Defense Fund\, where she directed the California Fisheries Fund\, an award-winning $3.5-million revolving loan fund financing sustainable co mmercial fishing on the US West Coast.
