A LITTLE ABOUT US

 

ORGANIZATIONAL OVERVIEW:  A PIONEER IN CONSERVATION LEADERSHIP
This is an exciting time at The Nature Conservancy (TNC) as we are shifting our strategy for greater impact in the world—seeking to address some of the most complex challenges facing people and nature—issues such as climate change, conserving lands, waters and oceans at unprecedented scale, providing food and water sustainably and helping make cities more resilient and sustainable.  

Our Mission
TNC’s mission is to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends. Rather than viewing development - including economic growth - and conservation as contradictory goals, TNC works to demonstrate how nature has value for people and development and how nature can provide enormous economic benefit. TNC envision a future where people and nature can flourish together.

Our Vision: A world where the diversity of life thrives, and people act to conserve nature for its own sake and its ability to fulfil our needs and enrich our lives.

The Conservancy Team: We achieve this through the dedicated efforts of our 3,800 diverse staff, including more than 600 scientists, all of whom support conservation in 70 countries and all 50 United States. We are striving to develop a workforce as diverse as the places where we work, and we have a deep commitment to diversity.

Organizational History:
Established in 1951, TNC is the largest conservation organisation in the world, working in all 50 states in the United States and more than 75 countries including Brazil, Kenya and Indonesia. It was incorporated as a non-profit organization in the District of Columbia on October 22. TNC is science-based and in every place it works, and partner with governments, businesses and local communities. It has $6 billion total assets and roughly $1 billion that is generated annually and allows TNC to have a meaningful impact on the greatest challenges countries may face. TNC is advancing its mission by protecting and restoring rivers, landscapes and oceans for people and their development at an unprecedented scale; it is transforming the way humanity uses the Earth’s natural resources to sustain ourselves.

·         At least 6 million tonnes of CO2-e mitigation through the elimination of burning on 1 million hectares of cropland (half the area currently burned)
