Saving the land of lakes and volcanoes
With beaches on both the Atlantic and Pacific Coasts, volcanoes and lakes, tropical pine forests, wetlands and savannas, Nicaragua is in a key position to ensure connectivity between the jungles of southern and northern Central America. That's why The Nature Conservancy works in partnership with other organizations to conserve the country’s corridors and safeguard its biodiversity.

Dionisio in his "milpa" field
(TNC LICENSE) October 2016. 79-year-old Dionisio Yam Moo checks on his corn in his "milpa" personal agricultural field. He has adopted his own method of conservation agriculture planting beans high in nitrogen below his corn plants. The Nature Conservancy works with landowners, communities, and governments in Mexico to promote low-carbon rural development through the design and implementation of improved policy and practice in agriculture, ranching, and forestry. The Conservancy is leading the initiative, Mexico REDD+ Program in conjunction with the Rainforest Alliance, the Woods Hole Research Center, and Espacios Naturales y Desarrollo Sustentable.
