Our partnership with 3M is working on climate solutions that also protect biodiversity and sustain livelihoods through our Conservation Carbon program

In October 2004, the 3M Foundation committed $3 million over three years to support Conservation International’s strategy for natural forest restoration in China. This funding supported the creation of the Forest Restoration for Climate, Communities, and Biodiversity (FCCB) Initiative which was officially launched in 2005 with China’s State Forestry Administration, The Nature Conservancy, and a number of local partners to develop land-based carbon offset projects with protect biodiversity and support local communities.
