The Nature Conservancy
The Nature Conservancy is a global environmental conservation organization dedicated to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends. Guided by science, TNC creates innovative and practical solutions to the world's most difficult challenges so that nature and people can thrive together. Working in 72 countries, the organization uses a collaborative approach, involving local communities, governments, the private sector, and other partners. With nearly 50 million hectares conserved in the world, TNC projects help to preserve life in the major regions of the planet.
In Latin America, where it has been operating for more than 30 years, TNC promotes initiatives with the objective of reconciling the economic and social development of these regions with the conservation of natural ecosystems. The work of TNC focuses on actions related to Sustainable Agriculture, Water Security and Smart Infrastructure, as well as Forest Restoration, Indigenous Lands, and Ocean Protection.
In order to scale up its work and mainstream natural climate solutions to climate change, TNC works in Latin America, where the organization is implementing a "market transformation" vision. It is working with cross-sector partners to accelerate policy change and innovation in industry and finance in order to include the value of nature into economic decision making.
TNC's restoration efforts aim to organize and to strengthen the forest restoration value chain, develop actions for the restoration in partnership with governments, other NGOs, and the agricultural and forestry sectors; implement forest restoration monitoring systems; and register and monitor all areas undergoing restoration. The organization also focuses on restoring land for productive purposes, enforcing land use regulations, and developing payment for ecosystem services (PES) projects.
In Brazil, TNC has supported restoration programs in the three states that have committed to Initiative 20x20 (Mato Grosso, São Paulo and Espírito Santo). TNC has worked together with the Atlantic Forest Restoration Pact and the Federal Government to implement restoration goals and Brazil's Nationally Determined Contribution to the Paris Agreement. TNC also represents civil society on the country's National Commission for Native Restoration (CONAVEG).
In Argentina, TNC has worked with the Secretary of Environment to develop ForestAr 2030, which is a concerted initiative with a broad stakeholder vision and strategy to conserve both natural forests and create a new forest economy. TNC and the Government of Argentina see the development of a strong forest economy as a significant pillar of delivering on the country’s commitment to combat climate change.
In Colombia, TNC has been developing a restoration project in the Caqueta Department, Amazon Region, working with local and state stakeholders to scale up projects. Its aim is to support Colombia's NDC goals.
In Mexico, TNC has partnered with the federal and state governments to implement REDD+ schemes, forest restoration, and forest best management practices.
