Mission
With the accelerating loss of the Earth's biological heritage and the impairment of critical ecological process that support life on the planet, the mission and work of The Nature Conservancy could not be more compelling. The task of conserving biological diversity is an extraordinary challenge, for we will be judged not only by what we create, but by what we refuse to destroy.
