“The food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe – it all comes from nature.”

About. 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, they’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, their reach is truly global. Mission: Building upon a strong foundation of science, partnership and field demonstration, Conservation International empowers societies to responsibly and sustainably care for nature, our global biodiversity, for the well-being of humanity. Vision: We imagine a healthy, prosperous world in which societies are forever committed to caring for and valuing nature, for the long-term benefit of people and all life on Earth. https://www.conservation.org/

Some Recent Accomplishments.

Why ecobrands® supports Conservation International. If you’re an environmentalist and need a pick-me-up, a visit to Conservation International’s website will provide just that. Instead of painting a picture of doom, they paint a picture of hope and provide humanity’s road map for success. What we love about Conservation International is its all-inclusive approach. Their work is focused on three core strategies: 1.) Stabilizing our climate by protecting and restoring nature, 2.) Protecting our oceans, and 3.) Expanding planet-positive economies. This is one of the more comprehensive approaches we have seen, and we particularly like that they focus on self-sustaining, scalable conservation models that can be adopted by any country, with the ultimate goal of allowing people to thrive without destroying nature’s support systems in the process. We feel that this core strategy of Conservation International should be the sole strategy of all mankind.

As always, thank you sincerely for reading. We wish you all the best on your path to sustainable living, as we continue on our own!
