 Conservation
International

Conservation once focused on preserving natural areas as untouched
relics of the past. All that changed in 1987 when a group of
pioneers meeting in a Washington DC hotel room, single-handedly
redefined conservation. Instead of keeping places intact as relics
of the past, it envisioned conservation as a working model of the
future. Since, we have worked with our partners to protect life on
Earth, saving over 200 million protected hectares on land and at
sea. We are proud to have some of the most original and passionate
minds in conservation, bold explorers, pioneering researchers.
With each step, we need more and more hands. Join us. |
