The Nature Conservancy
Why We Work With Fire
The Nature Conservancy has conducted controlled burns to restore health and diversity to natural lands for 60 years. But that's not the whole story.
A Future Where People and Nature Thrive
By maximizing our ability to effect change between now and 2030, we can shape a brighter future for people and our planet.
We impact conservation in more than 70 countries and territories thanks to our members, staff and scientists.
Guided by science and equity, we find paths to solve climate change and biodiversity loss. We're determined to make a major difference by 2030.
From volunteering to reducing your carbon footprint, there are so many ways you can get involved.
Donate today and you’ll be a member, funding urgent direct conservation and advocacy.
