How we Work:
Conservation by Design
The Nature Conservancy’s mission is to protect the diversity of life on Earth 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 like invasive species, atmospheric deposition, and global warming 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.
Conservation Initiatives
The Nature Conservancy has five priority conservation initiatives to address the global threats to our mission. See how we are working towards these initiatives in New York State:
