Our mission

We envision a healthy, prosperous world in which societies are forever committed to caring for and valuing nature, for the long-term benefit of people and all life on Earth.

Building upon a strong foundation of science, partnership and field demonstration, Conservation International empowers societies to responsibly and sustainably care for nature, our global biodiversity, for the well-being of humanity.

We protect nature for humanity.

We deliver results. Over four decades, we’ve helped protect 13 million square kilometers of land and sea — an area four times the size of India.

Climate

We work with nature to remove planet-warming carbon from the atmosphere — and help communities thrive in a changing world.

Oceans

We help create marine protected areas — and reimagine aquatic industries — to secure the ocean’s bounties for future generations.

Biodiversity

We protect and restore priceless ecosystems, while creating jobs and opportunity for all.
