We know that human beings are totally dependent on nature — and that by saving nature, we’re saving ourselves. To that end, CI is helping to build a healthier, more prosperous and more productive planet. We do this through science, policy, and partnerships with countries, communities and companies. Over the years, CI has helped support 1,200 protected areas and interventions across 77 countries, safeguarding more than 601 million hectares of land, marine and coastal areas.​​ Our work is moving entire societies toward a healthier, more sustainable development path — so that we don’t use up today what we’re going to need tomorrow. At CI, we don’t focus on one sector or one issue. And we’re not interested in short-term fixes. Instead, building upon a foundation of science, partnership and field work, we find global solutions to global problems.​​ We measure success in human terms. Our ultimate goal is to protect the most fundamental things that nature provides to all of us: our food, our fresh water, our livelihoods and a stable climate. Nature doesn’t need people - people need nature.

Story

Join me in making a real impact!

From April 3-10, 2025, my daughter Kathryn and I will embark on the HER Planet Earth expedition -- a journey to empower indigenous women in the Philippines on the frontlines of climate change.

Together with 10 amazing women, we will trek 70km across the stunning landscapes of Northern Luzon, through UNESCO World Heritage sites, ancient rice terraces, and vibrant indigenous communities. Along the way, we'll witness firsthand the resilience and potential of local women.

Our goal is to raise US$50,000 for Conservation International Philippines to fund agriculture projects that strengthen local women’s livelihoods, restore forests, and build climate resilience.

This cause is personal. Years advocating for women in agriculture taught me that smallholder women farmers don't have to be victims of climate change. With training and empowerment, they become leaders of climate action, creating positive change for their families, communities, and our planet. When women thrive, we all win.

Your support can create real change. Every donation, big or small, will help uplift these women, restore precious ecosystems, and protect our shared future.

Together, we can empower women and protect the planet.
