How We Work
Conservation by Design
The Nature Conservancy’s mission is to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends, and science guides our work. Today, with more than 50 years of land protection experience in New York under our belt, we understand that setting ecologically valuable land aside is not enough to ensure its long term conservation.
Modern threats are challenging us to practice conservation in new and varied ways. What’s more, our evolving, science-based approach tells us that our land, air, fresh water, and marine environments are connected and part of one system. This is why our conservation strategy today extends to all the major ecosystems in New York. We call it landscape-scale conservation. In New York, we protect forests, fresh water, oceans and coasts—and work to connect people with nature.
