<h3>Who We Are:</h3>
<p>The Nature Conservancy&rsquo;s mission is to protect the lands and waters upon which all life depends. As a science-based organisation, we create innovative, on-the-ground solutions to our world&rsquo;s toughest challenges so that we can create a world in which people and nature thrive. We&rsquo;re rooted in our Mission and guided by our Values, which includes a Commitment to Diversity and Respect for People, Communities, and Cultures.

<p>The Nature Conservancy first commenced operations in Australia in 2002. Since that time TNC Australia has grown significantly and now conducts projects in all Australian states and territories. Our work focuses on four conservation strategies &ndash; Outback (including our work with many Indigenous Traditional Owner groups, supporting their efforts to manage their country for its cultural and conservation values); Oceans (including our nation-wide critically endangered shellfish reef building program in the bays and estuaries of southern Australia, from Perth to Noosa); Nature and Agricultural Landscapes (including innovative water funds and property management in the Southern Murray-Darling Basin); and Protect (working with partners, including governments, to achieve protection, restoration and improved management of 30% of our oceans and 30% of our lands by 2030).
