WHO WE ARE

ORGANIZATIONAL OVERVIEW: A PIONEER IN CONSERVATION LEADERSHIP

This is an exciting time at The Nature Conservancy (TNC) as we shift 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 envisions 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.

Our 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.
TNC is the largest conservation organization in the world, working in places as diverse as the United States, Brazil, Kenya, Indonesia, Australia and, more recently, India. TNC is incorporated as a non-profit organization in the District of Columbia, USA. TNC is a science-based organization. All over the world we work and partner with governments, businesses, and local communities. We are advancing our mission by protecting and restoring rivers, landscapes and oceans for people and their development at an unprecedented scale; transforming the way humanity uses the Earth’s natural resources to sustain ourselves as part of the natural world.
