The Future is in Our Hands, But Not for Long

With under a decade to head off the worst effects of climate change, TNC works across four areas to protect the ecosystems, species and natural resources that make the Golden State unlike anywhere else. From stopping megafires to restoring our coasts, we access the power of nature to protect the thing that matters most: our home.
