Places We Work

The Binational Conservation Blueprint for the Great Lakes identifies more than 500 places in Canada and the United States that are priority sites for the conservation of biodiversity in the Great Lakes. The sites profiled here represent a small sample of the places where The Nature Conservancy and its partners work.

 
  This map (adapted from the Binational Conservation Blueprint for the Great Lakes) shows priority sites for the conservation of biodiversity in the Great Lakes.

A detailed PDF of the Blueprint map is available for download. Printed copies of the Blueprint and map are available upon request.
