Latest On The Conservation Gateway

A well-managed and operational Conservation Gateway is in our future! Marketing, Conservation, and Science have partnered on a plan to rebuild the Gateway into the organization’s enterprise content management system (AEM), with a planned launch of a minimal viable product in late 2024.

​​​​​​​The Nature Conservancy’s Resilient and Connected Landscapes project is the first study to comprehensively map resilient lands and significant climate corridors across Eastern North America.  Released in October 2016, the study took eight years to complete, involved 60 scientists, and developed innovative new techniques for mapping climate-driven movements.

To help explain the project we have created three interactive maps.  The first describes the concepts used to map Resilient Sites.  The second explains how we mapped climate corridors and movement zones to design Connected Landscapes that facilitate species range shifts.  The third shows how this information can be used to support Conservation Strategies like carbon storage, road mitigation, and land and water protection.

​​​ Resilient and Connected Landscapes for Terrestrial Conservation

This report brings together resilience, permeability, and diversity to develop a connected network of sites that both represents the full suite of geophysical settings and has the connections and networks necessary to support the continued rearrangement of species in response to change.

 Resilient Sites for Terrestrial Conservation in Eastern North America


This report updates the resilience analysis for the eastern North America with improved and unified methods.  Sites are identified across all geophysical settings that have land characteristics (landscape diversity and local connectedness) that increase resilience to climate change
