We believe that a world where people and nature thrive is possible. Join us today as we protect nature for tomorrow’s Texas.
The Nature Conservancy in Texas
In Texas, we’re already feeling the effects of the climate and biodiversity challenges facing our planet. Experts have identified more than 1,300 Species of Greatest Conservation Need in the state. As our cities grow, our freshwater supplies continue to be overallocated. Meanwhile, our coastline along the Gulf of Mexico loses more than an inch each year as climate change accelerates sea-level rise.
Nature is resilient, and we’re collaborating with partners to develop solutions and strategies to ensure Texas’ natural places, spaces and resources continue to thrive. From the West Texas desert, north to the Panhandle's high plains, through the Hill Country and eastward to our Pineywoods and Gulf prairie, we know what’s at risk if we don’t start making changes.
Our Priorities
We’re developing scalable solutions to enhance resilience and equity. The choices we make now will have resounding impacts far beyond our borders for centuries. Join us today as we protect nature for tomorrow’s Texas.

Lands
TNC is working with partners and landowners to develop a broad network of connected lands that will allow nature to adapt to a growing state and a changing climate.
Freshwater
From aquifers to rivers, we're preserving land near water supplies and advancing sustainable management and policy practices to improve water quantity and quality.
Coast
TNC is protecting coastal habitats that support species, restoring oyster reefs that boost Gulf ecology and economy and using nature to buffer coastal communities.
Climate
Through policy, planning, science, capacity building and on-the-ground conservation, we're leveraging nature's power to create healthier, more resilient communities.
