2024 IMPACT REPORT

Your generosity in action

The following stories reflect the impact of your investment in Conservation International’s groundbreaking science and community-led partnerships. They highlight the people — the scientists, the local leaders, the changemakers — behind our unfaltering work to chart humanity’s next chapter. We are honored to have you by our side as we work together to conserve the world’s biological diversity and stabilize the climate.

Your impact

Here’s what you helped make possible:

10M

HECTARES

In the remote Amazonian forests of northwestern Bolivia, Conservation International is working with local municipalities and Indigenous Peoples to create a massive, interconnected conservation mosaic that covers 10 million contiguous hectares (25 million acres) — an area nearly the size of Iceland.

40M

LIVELIHOODS

Conservation International is working with partners to secure the livelihoods of the 40 million people who rely on Poyang Lake, China’s largest freshwater lake and a vital water source to surrounding cities like Shanghai.

24K

PEOPLE

In eastern Madagascar, Conservation International is boosting food security and climate resilience for 24,000 people.

550

WOMEN BUSINESS OWNERS

Along Liberia’s coastline, where women fishers make up 90 percent of all fish vendors, Conservation International is promoting sustainable fishing practices through microloans to women fish traders, disbursing US$ 125,000 through microloans to more than 550 women business owners.

Stabilize our climate

With support from Conservation International, a local community in Bolivia protected 453,000 hectares (1.1 million acres) — an area the size of Rhode Island — of critical carbon-storing forests.

Double ocean protection

Conservation International worked to expand women’s roles and rights in seafood value chains, environmental decision-making and coastal management, which research has shown leads to more sustainable fishing practices and improved ocean protection.

Expand nature-positive economies

A collaborative effort between Conservation International and business and government partners continued to protect China’s largest freshwater lake — and the stunning wildlife and 40 million people it supports.

Reimagine conservation

Conservation International partnered with Indigenous Peoples to release a new set of guidelines that detail best practices for the fashion industry to integrate Indigenous knowledge into climate and biodiversity strategies.
