The Conservation Note

Your investments have the power to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends.

October 2011. Along the banks of the Río Tabacay in Ecuador's Cañar Province, there are 15 family farms involved in the Asociación de productores agroecológicos de la microcuenca del río Tabacay (Association of organic producers of the Tabacay River basin). The Association is a pilot program promoting sustainable and organic farming practices. This program was created by FONAPA, the Water Fund for the Conservation of the Paute River Watershed, whose members include The Nature Conservancy and other private and public entities. The Río Tabacay is a tributary to the Río Paute. © Erika Nortemann/TNC

The Nature Conservancy, a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) public charity, offers the Conservation Note. The purchase of the Conservancy's securities is subject to risks, which are described in the Prospectus. These risks include the difficulty of achieving or measuring conservation results, as described in the Prospectus. In addition, there is no assurance that the Moody's rating of the Notes will be maintained; it may be changed or downgraded. A change in rating during the term of the investment is not an event of default under the terms of the Conservation Note. The Conservancy significantly depends on donor contributions for its expenses, including the repayment of the Notes. This is not an offer to sell, nor a solicitation of an offer to buy, these securities. The offer is made solely by the Prospectus, and only in states where authorized.
