About [Edit]
Founded in 1987, Conservation International (CI) is an innovative leader in global biodiversity conservation. Our scientists, economists, communicators, educators, and other professionals work with hundreds of partners to identify and overcome threats to biodiversity. CI employs more than 800 people around the world; the majority are based in countries where biodiversity is most threatened, and most are citizens of the country in which they work.
Where We Work
CI targets high-biodiversity areas where the needs are greatest and where each conservation dollar spent can save the most species:
* Biodiversity Hotspots
* High-Biodiversity Wilderness Areas
* Key Marine Regions
CI is headquartered in Washington, DC, but concentrates its efforts overseas. We work in more than 40 countries, the majority of them developing nations in:
* Africa
* Asia-Pacific
* NeoTropics
Because no single organization can safeguard Earth's biologically richest places, enabling partners is a cornerstone to our strategic approach. In 2004, we shared approximately one-fourth of our budget with nearly 350 conservation partners throughout our priority areas.
Our Conservation Funding division manages an array of mechanisms to directly finance conservation efforts by our field programs and partners in ways that multiply our conservation outcomes around the world.
