The Nature Conservancy. Protecting nature. Preserving life.™

Regions

The Nature Conservancy works in all 50 states and in over 35 countries around the world to preserve the animals, plants and natural communities that represent the diversity of life on Earth—by protecting the lands and waters they need to survive.

We work with local governments, communities, and partner organizations in sharing our science-based and collaborative methods to ensure each region’s needs—for people and for nature—are best met.

Africa

Learn how The Nature Conservancy works on this ancient continent in five habitats and five countries—Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, Mozambique and Namibia—and see how working in Africa has taught new lessons to the Conservancy.

Australia

From the grasslands of Northern Australia to the biodiversity-rich Gondwana Link, the Conservancy is working with partners—and combining traditional knowledge with cutting-edge science—to protect the Land Down Under's most endangered natural resources.

Asia and the Pacific Islands

From supporting local communities who are working to conserve their natural resources in Micronesia, to researching with partners how climate change is affecting a sacred glacier in China, we are working to protect the myriad of species and habitats—and the communities that depend on them—in this diverse region.

Caribbean

Learn how The Nature Conservancy is working with local governments, partners and communities to create a network of marine parks across the Caribbean—nearly tripling the current amount of protected ecosystems in this region—as well as how our conservation science helped first responders into Haiti after the devastating Earthquake in early 2010.

South America

Learn how the The Nature Conservancy is working to preserve some of the world’s most endangered forests and grasslands habitat—from the Atlantic Forest to the Cerrado—by protecting them from threats like invasive species, habitat loss and climate change.

Europe

The Nature Conservancy is developing partnerships with governments and organizations based in Europe and is focusing on sustainable development, climate change and strengthening public policy to catalyze conservation.
