Conservation Initiatives
The Nature Conservancy has seven priority conservation initiatives to address the principal threats to conservation at the sites where we work. Through these initiatives, we are advancing conservation science, developing multi-site strategies, catalyzing global partnerships and improving policies in each of these key conservation areas:
|
The Global Marine Initiative links innovative land and sea conservation strategies to improve survival of our coasts and oceans now and for future generations.
|
|
The Freshwater Conservation program helps protect freshwater ecosystems by advancing water policies and conservation approaches so that human needs for water can be met while sustaining healthy freshwater ecosystems.
|
|
The Global Climate Change Initiative is developing achievable solutions to slow the rate of global warming and finding viable options for the Earth’s natural diversity, human communities and economic investments to survive its inevitable impacts.
|
|
The Global Fire Initiative develops solutions that allow fire to play a role in places where it benefits nature, and keep fire out of places where it is destructive.
|
|
The Global Invasive Species Initiative aims to abate the threat to Earth’s diversity posed by invasive non-native plants, animals, and diseases through a combination of prevention, early detection, eradication, restoration, research and outreach.
|
|
The Nature Conservancy is working with partners to achieve a global network of well-managed and properly funded parks and protected areas that represent the world's most important habitats.
|
|
The Global Forest Partnership works to advance responsible forest management practices, high-impact conservation transactions and public policies that protect, restore and manage the world's forests.
