A Decade of Conservation Progress

 

“The situation in the Yunnan Province is totally changed from what it was even ten years ago. There is a lot of hope for the future. The Nature Conservancy has energized conservation here.”

—Dr. Long Yongcheng, Conservancy biologist

A Decade of Conservation Progress

As the Conservancy marks 10 years of working with Chinese partners to conserve the country’s remarkable natural heritage, there is much good news to share.

In China, as elsewhere around the world, the Conservancy is:

  • Pushing the frontiers of science.
  • Applying that knowledge to drive on-the-ground conservation that works.
  • Using these tangible results to motivate leaders to make policies that can bring about large scale conservation success.

Three particular stories showcase the creative, results-driven strategies we’re putting into action — and the exciting success we’re having today:
