We have a solution.

Climate
Earth’s living landscapes — forests, grasslands and even swamps — absorbing and storing away planet-warming carbon. For that reason, nature conservation is a proven, cost-effective and essential strategy for slowing climate change.
Natural Climate Solutions
We protect, manage and restore carbon-rich ecosystems in partnership with Indigenous groups and local communities. We also empower producers in agriculture and forestry to reduce deforestation and adopt regenerative techniques.
Carbon Markets
We secure long-term funding for our projects — and nearby communities — by generating high-quality carbon credits, which are sold on the voluntary carbon market and reinvested in conservation. We adhere to stringent standards, ensuring that our impact is both meaningful and verifiable.
Climate Science
We conduct rigorous and policy-relevant scientific research, exploring new carbon-capture strategies, mapping high-priority areas for protection and modeling the potential consequences of climate change for communities around the world.
Our groundbreaking research identifies the Earth’s ecosystems that must be protected to prevent climate catastrophe. By revealing where the world’s greatest stores of irrecoverable carbon lie, we help governments focus conservation efforts where they matter most.
Mapping the Irreplaceable
In 2022, our scientists mapped the nature that humanity cannot afford to lose: areas that are uniquely rich in carbon and biodiversity, yet slow to regenerate. Today, that research is accelerating a global race to the protect the irreplaceable.

A Closer Look
We work in more than 100 countries, putting science into practice, bringing big ideas to life and protecting our planet’s life-sustaining systems. Check out these video clips from the front lines of climate action.
Voices from the Field
Listen to Jimmiel Mandima as he reflects on the power of nature to tackle the climate crisis. Looking back on the changing forests and rivers of his childhood in rural Africa, he highlights our work alongside Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities to restore carbon-rich landscapes. His message is a reminder that the future of humanity depends on the health of these vital ecosystems.
