The Nature Conservancy. Protecting nature. Preserving life.™

Thank You!

Back in 2007, The Nature Conservancy started something pretty ambitious. Our volunteers, donors, partners, and staff joined together and launched the Campaign for a Sustainable Planet. We set an audacious goal—to raise $1.6 billion—and to use those funds to conserve many of the most important lands and waters on Earth.

We were people from around the world, from many countries and cultures. But we had something special in common: our shared commitment to building a healthier planet and a better world.

In 2011, the 60th anniversary year for The Nature Conservancy, we completed the Campaign for a Sustainable Planet—successfully raising more than $1.7 billion, and conserving hundreds of great places for people today and for generations to come. What a tremendous way to cap 60 years of caring for the planet!

Results that Matter

Throughout our history, The Nature Conservancy has made an important impact, both for the benefit of our environment, and on the lives of millions of people who depend on the lands and waters we have protected. In the face of challenges that seem larger and more urgent than ever, we continue to innovate, to take action, and to give cause for hope.

Here is a sampling of the tangible conservation results we’ve achieved through the Campaign for a Sustainable Planet.
