The Nature Conservancy

The Nature Conservancy is an organization focused on protecting the lands and waters upon which all life depends. It operates as a science-based entity, creating innovative, on-the-ground solutions to global challenges where people and nature can thrive together. The organization's work in Africa, established since 2007, aims to foster a sustainable future for people and nature. This work involves partnering with indigenous communities and collaborating with governments and organizations to conserve and enhance shared resources. Specific areas of focus include integrated land and fisheries management, ocean and source water protection, energy development, and sustainable food production. The Nature Conservancy's efforts also involve supporting watershed investment programs and managing transboundary freshwater and fisheries conservation across various landscapes. The organization operates in multiple countries, including Zambia, and its work spans diverse geographic contexts across Africa and beyond.
