In the field
CI has offices in more than 30 countries, more than 1,000 partner organizations, and thousands of projects worldwide.
We are in places such as Raja Ampat, Abrolhos, Andasibe, Tonle Sap Lake and the Nangaritza River. Our field work includes expeditions to remote places that are the strongholds of biodiversity, and helps local communities protect the forests, rivers, lakes, mangroves and wetlands that provide shelter, fresh water, food, carbon storage and protection from storms. CI leverages those discoveries and experience to rally public engagement and call on governments to secure the sustainable management of vast swaths of abundant, threatened ocean and sea.
The planet is our backyard. The planet is our office. Explore and see how we're protecting the most valuable places on Earth.
