About Us

A Bold Approach to Conservation

The Conservation Fund protects land in ways that others can’t, moving fast to safeguard critical habitats and cherished landscapes before they’re lost, and bridging the gap for partners who need time to act. We specialize in navigating the complexities of land acquisition, stepping in to protect at-risk land on behalf of long-term conservation partners.

We make conservation work for both communities and natural spaces across America by creating innovative solutions, building lasting partnerships with local communities, government, and business, and ensuring every dollar invested delivers maximum impact.

Connecting Nature and Economic Opportunity

We believe that nature and people depend on each other — that land sustains us all. That’s why we approach conservation with an integrated perspective, protecting America’s priceless natural heritage in ways that connect us and ensure our communities have healthy, resilient environments, places to work and play, and real economic opportunity.

Advancing Solutions to Today’s Challenges

For 40 years, The Conservation Fund has worked to protect more than 9 million acres across all 50 states — safeguarding habitat for countless species, supporting thousands of jobs, and strengthening communities. Our work tackles some of today’s most pressing challenges, from climate change and wildlife conservation to sustaining working forests and providing rural communities with opportunity and access to fresh, healthy food.
