Global Conservation Science Working on conservation science at the global level level helps inform strategies at the global scale as well as helps focus and support on-the-ground conservation action by making useful information accessible to decision-makers and conservation practitioners around the world. Worldwide, species and ecosystems are under stress on an unprecedented scale. A global approach is essential to strengthen strategies, target resources and focus conservation actions in support of our field programs. Scientific information and analyses are critical to inform organizational strategies, elevate issues onto international policy agendas and to drive practical conservation solutions. A global approach can also elevate and promote best practices and innovations from site-based conservation projects improving approaches to conservation world wide. Global conservation science involves the analysis of the status of and threats to the world's freshwater, marine and terrestrial ecosystems. Collaboration of a wide spectrum of partners within and outside of the Conservancy is key to developing and applying innovative conservation science. The results from TNC‘s global science work informs global conservation strategies, conservation priorities, influences environment and development policies, and supports on-the-ground conservation actions. Major themes of our global science includes: - assessing critical conservation challenges;
- identifying conservation priorities and gaps;
- highlighting and exploring new trends;
- analyzing emerging issues and informing strategies;
- developing and promoting indicators;
- sharing data and publishing findings.
