Addressing the Impact of Climate Change
The Nature Conservancy site offers the following solutions:

• use forest conservation to directly lower carbon emissions and
combat climate change
• research migration routes and find out how much land needs to be
conserved to get animals where they need to go.
• invest in the restoration of coastal habitats.
• be a policy leader in moving forward solutions to climate change.
• restore natural systems on our coasts, like the coral reef restoration
work being done in Florida, that help absorb the effects of climate
change and protect coastal communities.
• innovate and share science-based solutions, so we can adapt faster.
