An Inclusive Wildlife Conservation Movement
About us
In the fight to save endangered animals and the planet, we need every smart voice and solution at the table. Unfortunately, long-standing systems have put up enormous barriers to careers in wildlife conservation. To save threatened wildlife and their habitats we must fuel a self-sustaining movement that brings a more representative and inclusive community of conservationists to the fight, today and in the future. By supporting and amplifying the work of underrepresented voices in the conservation field—specifically women, people of color, Indigenous people, and those from disadvantaged communities—we will help save wildlife today, and we will inspire, educate, and uplift a more representative group of future conservationists to follow in their footsteps.

Conservation 🐘 Climate 🌎 — they go hand in hand!
Loving Climate Week in NYC. Lots of powerful moments reinforcing how wildlife conservation action IS climate action and how women are creating real and sustainable progress in community where it counts. So great to spend time with my amazing wildlife champion friend Leela Hazzah and some other incredible African conservationists that Conservation Nation supports, like Moreangels Mbizah and John Kamanga. And I’m so proud to be part of the Daughters for Earth advisory council at their events to promote the power and agency of women in conservation (if we could bottle Zainab Salbi we could power the world). Also, what’s not to love about the elephant migration sculptures?

Conservation Nation is an amazing partner to the Washington School for Girls, providing environmental and nature-based education for our girls. Check out this writeup, which includes a video that highlights the projects that students worked on over the course of last school year. This experiential learning is highly engaging and supports our classroom learning. So grateful for Conservation Nation and Chesapeake Bay Trust for investing in this partnership! #Education #GirlsEducation #STEM #EnvironmentalEducation #MiddleSchool
During this past school year, our Teen Leaders in Conservation (TLC) program engaged 88 students at four schools in hands-on, meaningful explorations of nature and local city wildlife. At the Washington School for Girls we worked with a group of 26 middle school students over the course of the school year thanks to support from the Chesapeake Bay Trust. Here's what we did together: ♻️ Made recycled bookmarks 💡 Learned from conservation champions 🐤 Cared for Oxon Run, a nearby stream 📚 Taught elementary school students what they learned Read more: https://loom.ly/35bGHOw

I met many kind people that day, like 'The Aunties' who gave me information on how protecting the environment is the best thing to do for the ecosystem’s future.” — Kaishon Our summer program exposed students to environmental justice issues as they learned about the Black environmental history of the DC region, explored the Black present experience, and contemplated Black futures in the environment — with them at the center. We are so proud of this partnership with Caroline Brewer to bring nature and education to children. Because students like Kaishon are the future of conservation. 🧡

In the Salitral-Huarmaca Regional Protected Area in Peru, Morgan Hughes observes a critically endangered dry-forest ecosystem. 🦇 From studying bats and their role in reforestation to confronting misconceptions about these fascinating creatures, Morgan’s work highlights the importance of conservation and community collaboration. We are proud to support Morgan as she spent a year traveling around northern Peru to study bats at 136 locations ranging from cloud forests, to cactus covered savannahs, and so much more. Read her thoughts here: https://loom.ly/32M7xWI 📸: Morgan presenting two species of bats captured in the Cerros of Amotape National Park.
