There’s no doubt that we all face tough decisions about our economy and environment now. Every day, we’re asked to do more to help ensure that future generations will be safe and healthy.
Part of providing for the future is protecting what we have today—including our landscape. American farms and forests, wildlife and wetlands, are critical to the well-being of our families. Conservation provides clean air and water, places to get active outdoors and sustainable resources that support economic growth and stability.
The Conservation Fund helps communities across the nation achieve conservation goals and expand economic opportunity. In partnership with landowners, public agencies and businesses, we have protected more than 6 million acres. Together, we have saved working ranches in Colorado, created jobs in Appalachia and helped to restore critical wetlands outside New Orleans, among other successes.
But it's not enough.
Our nation's open space--undeveloped landscapes that define our sense of place-- continues to disappear at an alarming rate. Nearly 5,000 acres are lost to development each day. This loss is real and ongoing.
Be part of the solution.
