A Conservation Legacy
Bob and Ruth Ballard were lifelong nature lovers, and that love led them to leave the Conservancy a generous bequest in support of Hawaii’s native plants and animals.

One third of The Nature Conservancy's country programs are islands, and many state programs in The Nature Conservancy include threats to islands. We have been working on island conservation for decades.  Read more about our island conservation efforts.
