2024 IMPACT REPORT
Your generosity in action
The following stories reflect the impact of your investment in Conservation International’s groundbreaking science and community-led partnerships. They highlight the people — the scientists, the local leaders, the changemakers — behind our unfaltering work to chart humanity’s next chapter. We are honored to have you by our side as we work together to conserve the world’s biological diversity and stabilize the climate.
Your impact
Here’s what you helped make possible:
Stabilize our climate
With support from Conservation International, a local community in Bolivia protected 453,000 hectares (1.1 million acres) — an area the size of Rhode Island — of critical carbon-storing forests.
Double ocean protection
Conservation International worked to expand women’s roles and rights in seafood value chains, environmental decision-making and coastal management, which research has shown leads to more sustainable fishing practices and improved ocean protection.
Expand nature-positive economies
A collaborative effort between Conservation International and business and government partners continued to protect China’s largest freshwater lake — and the stunning wildlife and 40 million people it supports.
Reimagine conservation
Conservation International partnered with Indigenous Peoples to release a new set of guidelines that detail best practices for the fashion industry to integrate Indigenous knowledge into climate and biodiversity strategies.
