About Conservation in a Changing Climate

This website is designed to support on-the-ground conservation efforts of land trusts in the United States. The resources and learning categories are intended to provide basic to intermediate information and to lead to additional resources and tools that can support more advanced levels of understanding about climate change and its implications for the conservation community.

Together we can address these management challenges to save the places people love.

Conserving Nature in a Changing Climate offers land conservation practitioners practical steps to strategically increase the chances that plants and animals can adapt as the climate changes.
