The Mianus River Gorge was TNC’s first investment, and it paid off. Today, the preserve is managed independently, open to the public and has grown to over a thousand acres.

Over our 75-year history, we’ve worked with partners all around the world to protect people and nature.

Hidden within even the world’s densest cities, connecting trees, window flowerboxes, parks and gardens, are a complex series of roads you won’t find on any map. But for our planet’s insects, they’re critical lifeways.

One of these is a fish.

The Amazon leaf fish is so well camouflaged that it can drift among fallen leaves unnoticed, until it's time to strike.

What if conservation isn't a straight line, but a network? In Colombia's Cauca Valley, birds are helping connect protected areas, farms, communities, science and policy into something bigger than any one project could achieve.

3% of Earth's land surface. Roughly 1/3 of its soil carbon. Peatlands quietly do enormous work. New mapping reveals Angola's peatlands may be far larger than previously thought, storing carbon, feeding major river systems and supporting millions of people across southern Africa.
