Get Involved There are many ways you can support our Campaign for a Sustainable Planet. You can make a gift today with our safe and secure donation form or explore how you can create a legacy for the natural world while meeting your philanthropic and financial goals. See how the Conservancy is working in Mongolia to protect Earth's largest expanse of unspoiled grasslands — a focus of the Campaign for a Sustainable Planet. Go Deeper Where We Work Learn about our conservation work across the United States and in more than 30 countries around the world. About The Nature Conservancy Learn why The Nature Conservancy is the leading conservation organization working around the world to protect ecologically important lands and waters for nature and people. Science at the Conservancy Meet some of our more than 700 staff scientists and learn how everything The Nature Conservancy does is science-based.

The Nature Conservancy has been able to conserve well over 120 million acres around the world over its 58-year history. And we are well-positioned to spearhead the Campaign for a Sustainable Planet:

• We are the world's largest nonprofit conservation organization — already working in 34 countries on five continents.
• We have built an expansive network of more than 1 million members and have more than $5 billion in net assets.
• We routinely partner with corporations to achieve conservation goals — including some of the largest forestland preservation deals on record.
• We influence international policy on issues from climate change to marine protected areas.
• We have helped generate $32 billion in U.S. public funding for land acquisition and other conservation measures.
• From Africa to Colombia to California, we work with communities around the world that are directly impacted by habitat destruction and climate change.

But we cannot achieve the Campaign's goals alone. The growing threats to the planet now require us to create new partnerships at all levels and with all sectors of society — from the poorest to the wealthiest, from indigenous people to multilateral organizations.

And we also need to enter new geographies and transform the scale and pace of conservation work around the world — thereby raising its importance on the global stage.

What's Required to Achieve the Goal

We have much to achieve through the Campaign. And everyone's help is needed. The Campaign's goals are beyond what we — or any other institution — have attempted, and we cannot do it alone.

We will partner with governments, businesses, non-profits, communities and individuals. We will work with some of the world's most economically challenged communities to preserve the lands and waters that they rely upon for their daily survival. We will also work with global leaders to address borderless threats such as climate change.

Through the Campaign for a Sustainable Planet, we envision a world where:

• Natural habitats and human communities coexist, and
• Climate is stable and natural resources are renewable, plentiful and secure.

Only with your help can we work towards realizing this vision — to ensure the health and survival of the natural world that sustains us all.
