Building upon a strong foundation of science, partnership and field demonstration, Conservation International empowers societies to responsibly and sustainably care for nature and the well-being of humanity.

Conservation International’s scientists, field staff and policy experts are measuring the contribution of healthy ecosystems to human well-being, assessing the implications of development decisions, putting cutting-edge, rigorously tested information in the hands of decision-makers and the public while demonstrating through field models how economic opportunity and the stewardship of natural resources can leverage change at an international scale.
