Hide Profile

The Nature Conservancy began in 1917 as the Committee For the Protection of Natural Conditions under the Ecological Society of America. In 1946, the Committee organized itself as an independent group called the Ecological Union, and in 1950, under Richard Pough's direction, changed its name to the Nature Conservancy. The mission is to preserve plants, animals and natural communities that represent the diversity of life by protecting the lands and water they need to survive.
