Protecting nature. Preserving life.
The Nature Conservancy works to protect the lands and waters on which all life depends, running conservation projects in dozens of countries and every U.S. state.
Its work spans protecting forests and wetlands, restoring rivers and coastlines, promoting sustainable agriculture and fisheries, and tackling climate change alongside local communities, governments, and businesses.
The Conservancy relies on scientists and local partners to identify the places and practices that matter most, then works with landowners, Indigenous communities, and governments to protect them for the long term.
Projects range from purchasing and protecting critical habitat outright to helping farmers and fishers adopt practices that sustain both their livelihoods and the ecosystems around them.
Healthy forests, wetlands, and oceans clean the water we drink, stabilize the climate, and support the food systems people everywhere depend on—protecting nature is, in a very direct sense, protecting people too.
By working at large scale across borders and ecosystems, the Conservancy aims to safeguard the natural systems that a growing world population will need for generations to come.
