About Us

The Nature Conservancy is a global environmental nonprofit working to create a world where people and nature can thrive. Founded at its grassroots in the United States in 1951, The Nature Conservancy has grown to become one of the most effective and wide-reaching environmental organizations in the world. Working in 76 countries and territories: 37 by direct conservation impact and 39 through partners, we use a collaborative approach that engages local communities, governments, the private sector, and other partners. We’ve been working in Nevada for 40 years and have conserved more than 3 million acres in the Silver State, including in iconic places such as Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge, Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, and the Truckee River.
