Sometimes, ordinary people become extraordinary advocates for the places they love.
In Chilean Patagonia, residents and wilderness guides chose to take action rather than let local rivers and landscapes be developed. They helped secure legal protections for rivers and wildlife and even raised $78 million to purchase 28,000 acres of Pucheguin.

A very exciting conservation win in Australia! 🦜
Three ecologically and culturally significant properties in northern Queensland totaling nearly 396,000 hectares — more than three times the size of Hong Kong — have been acquired by the Queensland Government, supported by TNC and our philanthropic partners!
“The properties provide habitat for several threatened species, including the vulnerable Carpentarian Grasswren, Grey Falcon and the endangered Golden-shouldered Parrot, along with numerous other plants and animals that remain poorly documented,” said Mike Roache, TNC’s Protected Landscapes Director in Australia.

Today I hand off the chair of @nature_org’s Global Board to John Bernstein, the ultimate conservationist and a visionary leader. Eleven years with TNC changed how I see the link between human and planetary health. Much work remains, but I leave with a full heart and real hope.

The sunrise over a snowy mountaintop.
A colorful fish darting through a reef.
The rustle of grasses in a quiet prairie.
A fox trotting through a still forest.
These places. These moments. They mean so much. At The Nature Conservancy, we believe they should be protected for all generations.
Public lands are where many of our favorite memories begin: first hikes, fishing trips and special moments in nature.
This #NationalPublicLandsDay, we're speaking up to keep these wild places protected for future generations. Join us: https://t.co/cMYXbApVsP
Snaking through the Western Balkans are some of Europe's last free-flowing rivers. But dams and pollution threaten their future.
That's why TNC joined 6 local organizations across 5 western Balkan countries to launch United for Rivers, a campaign to protect them. https://t.co/u1HNFs5AZP
Gabon is a rich network of naturally flowing rivers, lakes and wetlands.
By acting now, Gabon can balance economic development with protecting the freshwater systems that sustain its people.
A new initiative aims to help Gabon conserve 18,000 km of its free-flowing rivers. https://t.co/rMtPb7eHb9
Almost every restored forest, cleaner river and wildlife comeback story has something in common: it started as a wild idea that somebody was brave enough to try.
For 75 years, we've seen what can happen when “what if?” turns to “what next?”. See 5 ideas that took root: https://t.co/M0TsBRQNTe

The Roadless Rule—which is now in danger of being repealed—is a powerhouse for the outdoor recreation economy in the U.S.
Each year, millions of people enjoy hiking, hunting and more in the nearly 60 million acres of national forest and national grassland that the Roadless Rule protects.

75 years ago, a small group of scientists decided studying nature wasn't enough. They wanted to save it.
That bold effort grew into a global conservation organization working across all 50 U.S. states and 83 countries and territories. https://t.co/AInzgomaTk
