The Nature Conservancy (TNC)

The Nature Conservancy was founded in 1951. Today it works in over 30 countries to protect natural habitats from grasslands to coral reefs. The organisation's vision is to leave a sustainable world for future generations. It pursues this goal by using a non-confrontational, collaborative approach based on its five core values:

• integrity beyond reproach
• respect for people, communities and cultures
• commitment to diversity
• one conservancy
• tangible, lasting results.
