Philanthropic giving for environmental conservation is on the rise, and there are ample opportunities for funders to get involved in protecting forests and endangered species, bird preservation, wildlife sanctuaries and water bodies. Conservation philanthropy has evolved in important ways over the past decades, including moving from a \u201cfortress\u201d preservationist mindset to a more people-focused model that respects the rights and practices of local communities. Giving for conservation overlaps with giving related to climate change, especially now, as conservation groups simultaneously respond to climate change while uplifting conservation\u2019s role in reducing emissions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Strategies for Impact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nonprofits are engaged in a range of efforts for environmental conservation. All of this work is important and could benefit from greater donor support. While many conservation donors enthusiastically support the \u201cbig greens\u201d such as Nature Conservancy, Ocean Conservancy, Wildlife Conservation Society and World Wildlife Fund, we discuss several areas where donors might focus their funding and spotlight several organizations within each that represent other kinds of nonprofits that donors might consider supporting.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n
