In nature Conservancy (TNC), the community and collaboration are at the heart of our efforts to protect the planet. With nearly 6,000 people working in each American state and 80 more countries to deal with biodiversity and climatic crises, TNC is increasingly adopting a “One Conservancy” approach. Rather than working in isolation, our experts collaborate between programs and borders to advance and evolve the most impact work in the world, in particular:
· Sustain Mongolia In his efforts to protect 30% of his country, including one of the most intact and most connected temperate meadows in the world – one of the least protected ecosystems on earth;
Facilitate the refinancing of national debt to release funds for the conservation of land and fresh water in the Ecuadorian Amazon – representing the most important amount raised for conservation in any debt conversion;
Directing a multisectoral coalition, including Micronesia and Walmart to tackle unsustainable and illegal tuna fishing by progressing electronic water surveillance;
Develop best practices for selective exploitation in the Republic of Congo This allows forest managers to maintain wooden harvests while reducing up to 50% of carbon emissions; And
Help black rhinos to return Kenya through the Loisaba Conservancy and Buffalo at the Kalispel tribe of Preserve of the Niobrara valley at Nebraska and the Medano Zapato Ranch in Colorado.
Nowhere is this effective collaboration is only obvious in our scientific program. It is propelled by more than 1,000 scientists and scientific staff who, together, join other thousand universities, colleges and research institutions around the world. More than 60 different disciplines are represented, from social science and behavior to the modeling of oceans and the ecology of conservation. And every day, our TNC scientists associate themselves with local organizations and communities to study and implement means of protect nature, tackle climate change, and provide Food, water and resources that people have to prosper in harmony with nature.
In November 2024, Conservancy nature organized its set of conservancy sciences in Mexico City. … (+)
Science is crucial for what we do. If you ask someone to conservancy, you will hear that we are a “scientific organization”. This means that our actions and decisions are based on rigorous scientific research and data. Our science provides the evidence and the ideas we need to guarantee that the strategies we are developing to combat biodiversity, climate and conservation attacks are effective, which can ensure that people and nature can continue to prosper together.
Last November, I was delighted to attend the first TNC science collection in Mexico City. This remarkable event brought together more than 500 members of scientific and conservation staff of 32 countries and 75 different teams with more than 215 individual presentations. It was a week filled with inspiring panels and presentations on subjects of indigenous knowledge and climate resilience to the latest bioacoustic or space cartography technologies. The sessions on agriculture, forests, fresh water and nature -based solutions have offered a unique opportunity for scientists to share, innovate and take advantage of what they had learned locally Global scale.

Science counts for TNC because it guarantees that our efforts are effective and impactful. It allows us to understand the complexities of ecosystems and communities, the threats they face and the best ways to protect them. Thanks to science, TNC can make informed decisions that lead to lasting and lasting results. For me, the scientific gathering illustrated this commitment to science and presented the collaborative, interdisciplinary and innovative spirit that animates our work.
Four plenary speakers titled the event, each bringing unique ideas. Dr Gerardo CeballosA renowned biodiversity scientist provided an analysis that gives reflection on the current biodiversity crisis and the urgent need for conservation action. Environmental researcher Dr Kyle Whyte Talked about how collective memory can stimulate conservation efforts and inspire action. Xiye BastidaAn activist of climate justice in Mexico City, stressed the importance of indigenous leadership and young people’s activism in the fight against climate change. And finally, Dr Ellen Stofan From the Smithsonian Institution highlighted the critical stages necessary to achieve sustainability and protect the future of our planet.
The rally also included colleagues from nearly three dozen environmental, university and research institutions, including chief scientists from other national and global environmental organizations. This type of knowledge sharing and collaboration is crucial to achieve our collective vision of a habitable climate, healthy communities and prosperous nature.

In the midst of all data, graphics and sciences, a surprising theme stands out the most: love. Plenary speakers of openness to the closing ceremony, the scientist after the scientist shared the love of the place, the people and the nature that animates our work. As a chief scientist of the TNC, Katharine Hayhoe, explain“The most urgent problems in the world. “”
Science fueling our conservation and climate actions, but it is our relationships and our experiences with nature that fuel our science. While we enter in 2025, we will need both science and love for the world around us to feed our efforts to create a healthier and safer planet for our children, our grandchildren and the generations to come. I invite you to join us.
