Nature Conservancy highlights
The latest and greatest from The Nature Conservancy
- The Nature Conservancy
- The Nature Conservancy is the leading conservation organization working to protect the most ecologically important lands and waters around the world for nature and people.
- Cliamte Change and Global Warming
- Climate change is already affecting our lives and the places we live, and has the potential to dramatically impact the lives of future generations.
- Rainforests of the World
- Wild and wondrous, rainforests extend from as far as Alaska and Canada to Latin America, Asia and Africa. They nurture thousands of plants and animals found nowhere else on Earth and provide life's essentials such as our medicines, food and water.
- Coral Reefs of the Tropics
- As the largest living structures on the planet, coral reefs are also among the greatest storehouses of biodiversity on Earth. But coral reefs are also one of the most threatened marine systems. Scientists estimate that unless we take immediate action, we could lose up to 70 percent of coral reefs by 2050.
