ResourcesThe Nature Conservancy uses a rigorous, science-based approach in its conservation efforts. Through the Great Lakes Program, the Conservancy is contributing to the overall understanding of this region, its ecological systems and processes, as well as the factors that influence them. The Conservancy’s Conservation Blueprint for the Great Lakes is a sweeping, yet practical plan for saving the natural life of this region. At least 185 globally rare plants, animals and natural communities are at risk.
