Humans and nature can thrive together.
Humans and nature can thrive together.
Biodiversity
Our planet’s living landscapes provide the food we eat, the water we drink and the air we breathe. By 2030, we must protect 30 percent of the world's land and sea to prevent widespread extinctions and secure the natural systems that sustain human life.
Large-Scale Protected Areas
For 40 years, we have helped governments, Indigenous groups and local communities establish new protected areas. We also develop strategies for financing those protections in perpetuity, bringing together philanthropic capital, public funding and private investment.
Ecosystem Restoration
We combine cutting-edge science and ancient knowledge to revive ecosystems at a scale once considered impossible. In 2023, we were tapped by the Global Environment Facility to lead a six-year, US$ 200 million restoration effort spanning 20 countries.
Economic Transformation
We support business models that replenish our planet's natural wealth, rather than depleting it. Industry by industry, we are transforming how humanity produces and prospers, beginning with farming, fishing and fashion.
In Xochimilco, Mexico, one of the last habitats of the wild axolotl, sightings are increasingly rare. Together with our partners, we are using environmental DNA to track their survival and restore chinampa refuges – traditional agricultural systems that improve water quality, support local communities, and keep the idea of wild, free-roaming axolotls alive.
Building the Restoration Economy
A large-scale restoration effort in Brazil is delivering big returns for communities, nature and investors. The first-of-its-kind model could help revive forests around the world.

A Closer Look
We work in more than 100 countries, putting science into practice, bringing big ideas to life and protecting irreplaceable ecosystems. Check out these video clips from the front lines of nature conservation.
Voices from the Field
Will Turner shares a moment that stayed with him: telling his children that the Baiji river dolphin had gone extinct. Driven by innovative science, he highlights how we work with communities worldwide to protect species and the habitats they depend on, ensuring that people and ecosystems alike can thrive. These efforts demonstrate that, with science and collaboration, we can protect life on Earth.

LET’S WRITE THE FUTURE TOGETHER
LET’S WRITE THE FUTURE TOGETHER
I donated to Conservation International today because I care deeply about the continuing loss of wildlife habitats around the world. All life is interconnected and we must find a way to allow humans and wildlife to coexist on our planet in the face of the increasing challenges posed by overpopulation and climate change."
