Conservation International partners with governments on local, regional, and national levels around the world to deal with high priority areas of concern. From Brazil to China, from the U.S. to Liberia, we engage nations in a common goal — to preserve natural resources for the benefit of all life on Earth.
This strategy has helped create inclusive, powerful coalitions with government leaders in many nations. While each nation comes to the table with its own goals, priorities, and viewpoints, all strive to protect the natural balance of life on land and in the seas.
Our international efforts have assisted our government partners in overcoming the many challenges they face in balancing conservation with their respective development goals, economic interests, and political realities.
We believe that engaging governments in conservation action is essential to maintain human well-being. Joining together to take action on a global scale is a critical step toward achieving harmony between people and nature. For each is dependent on the other.
