The mission

What this organization describes

Preserving biologically diverse ecosystems in concert with local people in Latin America.

Since 1996, Nature and Culture International (NCI) has been working to protect some of the planet's most important and endangered ecosystems. We believe that the most effective way to do so is through bottom-up conservation with local communities, indigenous groups and governments. Through 17 offices in Latin America staffed by dedicated conservationists, we have helped protect nearly 14 million acres to date. Now, our goal is to save 20 million acres by 2020. By giving to NCI, you can help prevent irreparable damage to our environment, the extinction of exceptional species, and the disappearance of ancient cultures.
