The Nature Conservancy

The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is a leading conservation organization impacting conservation in 69 countries around the world to protect ecologically important lands and waters for nature and people. To date, TNC and its more than one million members have helped protect 130 million acres worldwide. TNC distinguishes itself from other nature advocacy groups by adopting a non-confrontational, business-like and scientific approach to conservation. Of TNC’s 400 staff members in Asia Pacific, over half are scientists. TNC has been in Asia Pacific for 25 years, starting with our first project in Micronesia and now also covering conservation programs in Australia, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Mongolia, Myanmar, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. TNC also has two multi-country projects covering Southeast Asia and the Coral Triangle.
