Prioritizing People and Nature Together, we will shape the future T here is no scenario where we reach our goals alone. We will only succeed through incorporating the wisdom, experiences and considerations of everyone. Across all of our strategies, The Nature Conservancy is growing

Everyone has a stake in shaping Missouri’s future. Improving access to information and resources ensures that more people can take an active role. TNC routinely shares the science, techniques and tools we use so that people can develop conservation strategies that work best in their communities. The majority of our new projects in Missouri double as demonstration sites, scalable for easy adoption. We are also constantly on the hunt for new ways to collaborate and create the opportunities. Together, we face serious barriers, including the effects of a changing climate and biodiversity crisis that are already hitting Missouri. But we know there is enough intelligence, talent and resources to reach our destination. Guided by a commitment to justice, diversity, equity and inclusion, TNC is bringing people together to so that the beauty and the bounty of Missouri will endure for future generations.

our understanding and prioritizing conservation that improves the lives of people and the outlook for nature across Missouri. That means broadening our definition of restoration to include restoring the trust and cultural connections with the original stewards of the lands and waters. It means fostering a diverse workforce of local people who can earn a living while applying proven restoration practices that strengthen their communities. And it means developing the tools and relationships needed to support an equitable transition to clean and diversified energy sources.
