Because policy makes conservation possible. Learn more about the climate and conservation policy issues on the table this fall: https://nature.ly/4emYbr3

Policy makes conservation possible. Right now, legislation is moving through the federal government that would boost global conservation efforts, protect wildlife and accelerate clean energy — and your voice can help get these policies across the finish line.

2024 Guide for Climate and Environmental Policy Action

In two decades of working in the Emerald Edge (stretching from the Pacific Northwest to Alaska), TNC and Nature United have seen the transformative impact of deep, trust-based partnerships between Indigenous Peoples and local communities and conservation groups, producing lasting benefits for both people and the planet. Through the carbon map, we’ve identified significant carbon losses in Oregon and Washington state, primarily due to forestry activities. These areas present potential focal points for enhancing carbon storage and sequestration through natural climate solutions projects. Additionally, British Columbia and Alaska, with their extensive old-growth forests and increasing Indigenous land ownership, offer substantial opportunities for large-scale forest-based climate mitigation. These efforts can also address historical and ongoing issues related to equity and access. Learn how the Emerald Edge Carbon Map informs community-based projects, helping to assess their effectiveness in combating climate change while aligning with community priorities: https://lnkd.in/gTjqMuMC

Three years ago this week, The Nature Conservancy joined with our partners in Southeast Alaska — Sealaska, Spruce Root, Central Council of the Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska and the Sustainable Southeast Partnership —to proudly launch a new vision for funding Indigenous-led conservation in the region. The Seacoast Trust was envisioned to support the hopes and dreams of communities, knowing that, in the words of one of our founding leaders, 'Gunnuk Anthony Mallott, “Sustainable communities make sustainable decisions. Communities at risk make short-term decisions based on immediate need. The Seacoast Trust will help create sustainability across the region through proven Indigenous stewardship.” Since we announced this groundbreaking new way to provide stable, sustainable funding for these efforts, we've raised $25 million — one-quarter of the way to our ultimate goal. Our momentum is strong and growing. Want to learn more? Please visit seacoasttrust.org. #Indigenousledconservation #Landback 📸 Bethany Sonsini Goodrich

The Emerald Edge Carbon Map is an innovative, interactive tool to help identify the most impactful and actionable opportunities for natural climate solutions projects that also support Indigenous and community priorities. Developed by scientists at Nature United and our global affiliate The Nature Conservancy, the map integrates a suite of forest carbon datasets, land ownership and designation information. Learn how this tool can support decision-makers, land managers and communities to explore carbon storage potential through improved forest management activities: https://nature.ly/3MJS5ol

#OceanClimateAction is made possible for Alaskans thanks to NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration and the Inflation Reduction Act. There was 28 times MORE demand for climate resilience investment than there was money available! TNC in Alaska will be working with Iguigig Village Council to build upon its Indigenous Guardians work in Bristol Bay with a portion of the Alaska funding. 🌊 Read more from the Anchorage Daily News below.
