2: Conservation
Conserve "enough of everything." Other Information:
A New Vision to Meet Increasing Threats -- But despite all our progress, climate change, a rapidly expanding human population,
damaging industrial and agricultural practices and other dynamics continue to threaten our natural world and quality of life.
Plant and animal species are disappearing at rates estimated to be 100 to 1,000 times greater than normal. And the benefits
that nature provides people — from fresh water to food to flood control — are also under siege. How is the Conservancy responding?
By setting a new goal: to conserve "enough of everything," not just the rarest or most imperiled species or places. This means
at least doubling the rate of effective conservation around the globe with the next 10 years. The aim is to create a world
in which the ecosystems that sustain all life — people as well as plants and animals — are valued and endure for generations.
And as we move toward fulfilling this ambitious goal, Conservation by Design will continue to guide where we work and how
we take action. We invite you to explore the 10th anniversary edition (pdf) of this innovative framework — an approach that
can be used by conservationists everywhere, at every scale.
