Since 1987, we have been fighting to protect nature for people.
Über uns
Since 1987, Conservation International has worked to spotlight and secure the critical benefits that nature provides to humanity. Combining fieldwork with innovations in science, policy and finance, we’ve helped protect more than 6 million square kilometers (2.3 million square miles) of land and sea across more than 70 countries. Today, with offices in more than two dozen countries and a worldwide network of thousands of partners, our reach is truly global. But we couldn't have made it this far without you. Your contributions support our work to protect nature for the benefit of us all.

“Nature is still a unifier” In his Sky News Breakfast interview, Conservation International CEO Dr. M Sanjayan says nature is bringing a divided world together, and encourages the new UK Labour government to lead on this critical and unifying issue.

On my recent appearance on Sky News Breakfast ahead of meeting with the new UK Labour government, I emphasized that we must double down on the one issue that continues to bring us together. This year, with elections taking place in nearly half the world—including recently held ones in the UK and upcoming ones in the US—nature remains a universally resonant issue, one that nobody opposes. With this universal support for nature, UK leaders have a prime opportunity. Why not take the lead on this critical, unifying issue now?

What innovations do you predict will revolutionise #bioacoustics in the next two decades? 🚀 We are thrilled to launch Listen to the Future, our newest horizon scan project exploring this very question. By identifying emerging advancements that will shape the future of bioacoustics, we aim to build community consensus, facilitate collaboration, and direct resources to realize this growing field’s full potential. 💡Have your say by contributing 2-5 innovation ideas that could significantly advance bioacoustics technologies for #conservation and science. These will be considered for inclusion in the horizon scan prioritisation process, involving diverse experts from across the globe. This project is run in collaboration with Colorado State University with support from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and a fantastic group of expert advisors, including Laurel Symes, Justin Kitzes, Erin Bayne, Renata Sousa-Lima, and Jen Solomon.

Birds impact our planet in a unique way — through their food. A new study co-authored by Conservation International scientist Camila Donatti found that birds' eating patterns greatly vary across their habitats and that these patterns could be impacted by climate change. As we see these changes go into effect, conservationists are considering the implication of climate change not only on birds, but, consequently, on habitats worldwide.

Years of civil war left Mozambique’s national parks in ruins. But in one park, a decade of conservation has brought the savanna in this southern African country roaring back to life. Now, Conservation International and Peace Parks Foundation are replicating this success on a massive scale — protecting an area the size of Iceland across three countries:
Long silenced, an African park roars back to life

Our groundbreaking new study set out to debunk a common myth: planting crops and grazing livestock mean cutting down trees. Instead, researchers found that planting trees on existing farmland could trap as much planet-warming carbon as the global emissions of all cars combined — without sacrificing food security.
For climate-fighting farms, squeeze in some trees: study

Surfing isn’t just about catching the next big wave—it’s also about protecting the ecosystems that make those waves possible. Our new research shows that surf breaks are surrounded by carbon-storing ecosystems — like mangroves — that are essential for combating climate change, but only a fraction are protected. Here’s how to change that.
Surf spots are climate hotspots, study finds
