The Nature Conservancy (TNC) integrates scientific advances into its global conservation strategies. This evolution drives the organization to seek new scientific understanding for maximizing conservation effectiveness worldwide.

Area of Science:

  • Conservation Science
  • Ecological Theory
  • Environmental Management

Background:

  • The Nature Conservancy (TNC) began as a US land trust focused on scientific study.
  • It has grown into the world's largest conservation NGO, operating in 35 countries.
  • TNC has consistently adopted and produced scientific advancements to inform its conservation practices.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To document the evolution of scientific approaches used by TNC.
  • To illustrate how TNC's conservation practice influences the science it seeks.
  • To highlight TNC's role in advancing conservation science and effectiveness.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic conservation planning using species distribution data.
  • Landscape-scale conservation projects informed by landscape ecology.

  • Multiobjective planning integrating biodiversity with economic and resource needs.

    • Main Results:

    • TNC pioneered systematic conservation targeting and evolved to landscape-scale and multiobjective planning.
    • The organization increasingly considers ecosystem services and human risks.
    • TNC now incorporates social sciences and economics, though understanding ecological thresholds remains a challenge.

    Conclusions:

    • Scientific advances have consistently guided TNC's conservation actions and strategies.
    • TNC's practical conservation work shapes the scientific research it pursues.
    • This reciprocal relationship enhances TNC's overall conservation effectiveness.
