STATEMENT OF MISSION |
|
The mission of the Nature Conservancy is to preserve plants, animals, and
natural communities that represent the diversity of life on Earth by protecting
the lands and waters which they need to survive. To date, the Conservancy and its members have been responsible for the protection of more than eight (8) million acres in all 50 states and Canada. It has helped like-minded partner organizations to preserve millions of acres in Latin America, the Caribbean, the Pacific, and Asia. While some Conservancy-acquired areas are sold for management to other conservation groups, both public and private, the Conservancy owns more than 1,400 preserves-the largest private system of nature sanctuaries in the world. The Nature Conservancy was incorporated in 1951 in the District of Columbia for scientific and educational purposes. The Conservancy is a non-profit, tax-exempt corporation under Section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code, and is a publicly supported organization as defined in Sections 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) and 509(a). Donations are tax deductible. The Nature Conservancy is an equal employment opportunity/affirmative action employer.
