We all rely on clean air, freshwater, healthy soils and abundant food. And each of us has a role to play in protecting those precious natural assets. Team Earth is as simple as that.

Team Earth is a movement designed to inspire all individuals to take actions that benefit our planet. A drive to deliver financial support to projects that protect our planet’s natural resources. A community engaged in the vital questions of our day: How do we protect people and nature to enable this generation – and future generations – to thrive?

To tackle these questions, CI is committed to broadening our strategic approach to prove the value of conservation as a fundamental tool for economic and social development, and to make the protection of people and species central to healthy landscapes, communities and economies.

Although CI has been moving toward this strategic realignment for years, the ongoing global financial crisis underscores how interconnected all economies, cultures and biological systems are. Choices in one part of the world affect outcomes elsewhere. What’s lost there is felt here.

Accordingly, CI is working with numerous partners – from individuals to corporations, foundations and governments – to catalyze a global, unifying movement that will engage all of humanity in the protection our planet.

IN VIDEO: Tom Friedman Speaks Out.

We invite the concerned, engaged, interested and involved to help us protect the species, forests, rivers, marine ecosystems and biologically rich “hotspots” that are most important to the future of life on earth. We need everyone working together to ensure that people and natural ecosystems thrive.

Team Earth believes that protecting nature for the good of humanity is both a moral obligation and an imperative for people, business and government. Without clean water, fresh air, healthy soils, and our global biodiversity, humanity – now and tomorrow – cannot thrive.

Team Earth is everyone. Are you in?
