Our Conservation Priorities Across the West

Discover how we're collaborating with our TNC colleagues and partners across the western U.S. and Canada to advance conservation on a transformative scale.

Climate Action and Renewable Energy

We're leveraging science and policy to accelerate the clean energy transition while also protecting connected landscapes that are essential for sustaining all life.

Colorado River Basin

Spanning 1,500 miles of river across seven U.S. states and two countries, we're working to protect this iconic lifeline of the West.

Columbia River Basin

Alongside Tribes and First Nations in the Basin who have been leading salmon recovery efforts for decades, we are advancing habitat restoration, advocating for policy solutions, and growing capacity for clean energy development to support Tribes, communities and local economies.

Emerald Edge

In the world’s largest temperate rainforest, we're pursuing community, conservation and climate action.

Grasslands

We're partnering with landowners, ranchers, Tribal communities, policymakers and other conservation organizations to ensure tangible, lasting outcomes for vulnerable grassland species and their habitat.

Indigenous-Led Conservation

As an organization, we believe that the increased authority and capacity of Indigenous Peoples to steward their lands and waters are critical for the future of healthy ecosystems and communities.

Natural Climate Solutions

Natural Climate Solutions are actions to protect, better manage and restore nature to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Combined with cutting fossil-fuel use, boosting energy efficiency and accelerating clean-energy innovation, they offer powerful and cost-effective ways to tackle the climate crisis.

Sagebrush Sea

Across 13 U.S. states, the Sagebrush Sea hosts a complex web of native plants—sagebrush, bunchgrasses, wildflowers—that support more than 350 species of conservation concern.

Sustainable Fisheries | Bristol Bay, Alaska

Alaska’s Bristol Bay is the world’s most important wild salmon nursery. The watershed feeds wildlife, a historic commercial fishery, local and Indigenous communities and people across the planet. Yet this globally important salmon run is in danger, and we may be facing our last chance to save it.

Western Dry Forests

Building on more than 60 years of expertise in prescribed fire and forest management, we're leading and convening efforts to restore dry forest resiliency and reduce wildfire severity throughout the West.
