The Nature Conservancy in Nevada

The Nature Conservancy is a global environmental nonprofit working to create a world where people and nature can thrive. Founded at its grassroots in the United States in 1951, The Nature Conservancy has grown to become one of the most effective and wide-reaching environmental organizations in the world. Thanks to more than a million members and the dedicated efforts of our diverse staff and more than 400 scientists, we work in 76 countries and territories: 37 by direct conservation impact and 39 through partners. We’ve been working in Nevada for 37 years and have conserved more than 3 million acres in the Silver State, including in iconic places such as Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge, Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, and the Truckee River.

In Nevada, we work on three primary initiatives: 

1. Resilient Lands. We are protecting, stewarding and restoring Nevada’s extraordinary places for people, nature, and future generations.
2. Resilient Waters. We are focused on ensuring a resilient water supply that will provide security for critical surface water, groundwater dependent ecosystems and Nevada’s communities.
3. Climate Action. We are building broad-based support and developing solutions to reduce emissions and help make our ecosystems and communities more resilient.
