Today is the 5th anniversary of the Great American Outdoors Act! This law, passed in 2020, permanently funded the Land and Water Conservation Fund, one of our best tools for protecting America’s natural landscapes. But now LWCF—and our natural landscapes—are under threat. Join us and tell your elected leaders to continue to fund LWCF so the lands and waters central to our health, economy and way of life are protected for this and future generations. LWCF helps: 🌱 Protect land and wildlife habitat in national parks, national wildlife refuges and national forests. 🌱 Preserve working forests and ranchlands. 🌱 Support state and local parks and playgrounds in every state. 🌱 Preserve historic and cultural sites around the country. 🌱 Provide the resources that local communities need to meet their diverse conservation and recreation needs.

Many snakes are often misidentified and unfairly labeled as dangerous when they’re not. In this fascinating yet practical guide, biologist David Steen breaks down the most common snake misidentifications and offers tips to help you tell the difference between venomous and harmless species. Whether you're a nature lover, hiker, or just curious about the critters in your backyard, this is a must-read.

What happens when communities, nature and innovation unite in the Appalachians? New possibilities emerge. Together with partners, we’re achieving historic protection wins, returning fire to over 100,000 acres of Appalachian forests, reforesting thousands more with native trees, and leveraging millions of dollars in public and private funding to bolster local conservation and economic development. Through new, collaborative approaches to dam removal and infrastructure improvements, we’ll reconnect thousands of miles of freshwater habitat and support community resilience. These accomplishments demonstrate that by prioritizing and investing in the Appalachians, TNC and its partners are generating new possibilities for continental-scale impact.

Driving Climate Solutions Forward 🌍 We’re proud to announce a powerful new chapter in our decades-long relationship with Acura, who have donated 75 electric vehicles (EVs) and $1M in funding to The Nature Conservancy. This collaboration builds on more than 30 years of shared commitment to environmental stewardship—from protecting Ohio’s Big Darby Creek watershed to advancing climate solutions across the U.S. With Acura’s support, we will: 🌿 Reduce our carbon emissions with cleaner transportation 🔋 Work to our goal to transition to 30% EVs by 2030 🔌 Expand charging capacity at TNC properties ☀️ Progress renewable energy solutions These EVs will help us reduce emissions across our field operations, while the funding helps power our capacity to recharge them. Thank you, Acura, for helping us move the needle on climate action—together.

🦏 A new chapter for a critically endangered species. In a landmark conservation effort, 21 Eastern black rhinos were translocated to a new sanctuary at Loisaba Conservancy last year—creating space for population growth and long-term survival. This complex operation brought together government agencies, veterinarians, local communities and partners like TNC. It’s a case study in what large-scale, collaborative conservation looks like in action. 🎥 Go behind the scenes of this extraordinary mission. 📖 Then read the full story here https://nature.ly/4mOy6FQ

On the edge of the map, 1,000 miles south of Hawaiʻi, there is an island where nature rules. TNC’s Palmyra Atoll is a conservation innovation hub and a hope spot, home to lush tropical forests and some of the world’s most pristine coral reefs. But in 2023, Palmyra’s reefs were devastated by a bleaching event. Check out the latest Notes from the Field video to learn how TNC and our partners responded to this coral crisis at Palmyra and what we learned about the power of nature.
