Profile

We believe that the Earth's natural heritage must be maintained if future generations are to thrive spiritually, culturally, and economically. Our mission is to conserve the Earth's living heritage – our global biodiversity – and to demonstrate that human societies are able to live harmoniously with nature.

We aim to protect life on Earth and to demonstrate that human societies will thrive when in balance with nature.

Our work is inspired by the core values that have been with CI since day one: passion, respect, integrity, optimism, and courage. As we work toward securing a healthy planet for today and for generations to come.

Environmental Commitment

GLOBAL CONSERVATION FUND (GCF) finances the creation, expansion, and long-term management of protected areas in both healthy areas of the world and damaged ones.

GLOBAL MARINE PARTNERSHIP FUND is designed to simultaneously benefit marine species and the billions of people who would be impacted if the threats to the diversity and abundance of marine life are left unchecked.

The MARINE PROGRAM disseminates critical marine information to the global community with the goals of engaging and unifying international marine stakeholders through knowledge sharing and information exchange.

The POPULATION, HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT PROGRAM seeks to reduce human impact and pressure on the limited natural resources in rural, biologically rich important areas and improve local conservation activities.

Through the SEA TURTLE FLAGSHIP PROGRAM, CI provides critical support to the World Conservation Union Species Survival Commission Marine Turtle Specialist Group.
