About the Company

The Nature Conservancy

Conserves ecosystems via science-based action

The Nature Conservancy is a global non-governmental organization that protects lands and waters to conserve nature and support human well-being. It works on science-led conservation projects around the world, partnering with communities, governments, and businesses to protect biodiversity, restore ecosystems, and address climate change. Its approach involves on-the-ground land and water protection, habitat restoration, sustainable resource practices, and policy advocacy, all guided by data and collaboration rather than partisan agendas. What sets it apart is its large, international footprint, long track record, and emphasis on measurable conservation outcomes through partnerships rather than relying on a single technology or product. The goal is to create a world where people can thrive alongside healthy ecosystems for generations to come.
