The nature conservancy (TNC) is focused on securing a thriving planet. We work across the globe, in 81 countries and territories (41 by direct conservation impact and 40 through partners), and all 50 states in the u.s. To conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends. Our vision is a future where people and nature thrive. Grounded by decades of local on-the-ground experience, we maximize our ability to affect change by bringing together real-world solutions, policy expertise, sustainable financing, and collaborative partnerships. Working with partners around the world, TNC continues to make progress towards its goal of protecting 30% of lands, fresh waters, and oceans by 2030. See schedule o.TNC's accounting methodology through the 2023 tax year does not attribute revenue or all programmatic expenses to a specific program, as many times projects make progress toward more than one of TNC's conservation goals. As such, the separation of programs in part iii would not accurately reflect the programmatic expenditures and corresponding revenue. Protect oceans, land and waterduring the 2023 tax year, TNC worked towards conserving critical forests, grasslands, and other habitats rich in carbon and biodiversity, making sure the oceans thrive through new and better-managed protected areas, improving the quality and amount of water available in freshwater ecosystems, and protecting wildlife, coastlines, and communities.
