Conservation International (CI) is a renowned organization that has been working since 1987 to secure and preserve the critical benefits that nature provides to humanity. CI's main mission is to improve people's livelihoods by protecting oceans, forests, and other living ecosystems. The organization combines fieldwork with innovative approaches in science, policy, and finance to develop sustainable and long-term conservation strategies[1][2].

CI focuses on several core areas:

• Protection of Ecosystems: CI has protected more than 6 million square kilometers of land and sea in over 70 countries. This includes the protection of forests that absorb and store climate-impacting carbon dioxide, as well as the preservation of marine ecosystems[1][2].
• Innovative Conservation Strategies: The organization develops creative and scientifically-based strategies to identify priority areas and create innovative tools to protect them.
• Partnerships and Collaborations: CI works closely with businesses and governments to minimize the impact of their activities on the environment and promote sustainable practices[5].

CI is committed to making significant contributions to global sustainability:

• Climate Protection: By protecting forests and other ecosystems, CI contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gases and supports adaptation to climate change.
• Biodiversity: The organization is dedicated to the protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems to secure natural resources for future generations.
• Sustainable Development: CI promotes sustainable development by ensuring that the natural resources people rely on for food, fresh water, and their livelihoods are protected and used sustainably[1][2].
