Description: From a small band of scientists and activists to one of the world's largest conservation organizations, *The Nature Conservancy* traces how a single idea, that protecting land could be both practical and strategic, grew into a global movement. This book follows its work across rivers and wetlands, Appalachian and Amazonian forests, coral reefs, and coastlines, showing how restoration actually happens on the ground. It also examines how the organization confronts wildfire, drought, and flooding, and how it partners with farmers and ranchers to make conservation economically viable. Balanced and clear-eyed, it takes up the controversies and open questions that will shape the future of protecting the planet.
