Snaking through the Western Balkans are some of Europe's last free-flowing rivers. But dams and pollution threaten their future. That's why TNC joined 6 local organizations across 5 western Balkan countries to launch United for Rivers, a campaign to protect them. nature.ly/47bhVM5

National monuments conserve wildlife habitat, support local economies and ensure recreation access. We are disappointed by the decision to shrink Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments by nearly 90%. nature.ly/4w8agcz

Disappointing Decision to Severely Shrink Two Utah National Monuments

The Nature Conservancy does not support reducing the boundaries of Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments in Utah.

Small adjustments to how and when dams release water is good for both nature and the economy. Through the Sustainable Rivers Program, $1 invested can return up to $14 in benefits for people, wildlife and recreation. Learn more: nature.ly/4cCCnt6

States are driving clean energy progress. In @Forbes, @bfrist spotlights state policy wins that will help create a resilient energy future. To keep the momentum going, we created a roadmap to help legislators advance smart siting and permitting policies. forbes.com/sites/billfrist/2…

To Meet Rising Energy Demands, States Should Continue To Be Clean Energy Leaders

Across the US, electricity demand is fast. Meeting that demand affordably and reliably will require a more diverse energy mix—and clean energy must play a central role.

“Modernizing America’s transmission system is imperative to meeting rising energy demand with reliable, affordable clean power," said TNC's Jason Albritton. REWIRE is a smart, practical step forward to meeting that demand. eenews.net/articles/bipartis…

Bipartisan permitting plan seeks to expand grid capacity

The legislation is part of a broader effort in Congress to address skyrocketing energy demand and ease project approvals.

Our own Dr. Kerry Rohrmeier testified before Congress’s @NatResources on how we can boost geothermal energy while protecting nature and communities. Bipartisan support is growing to expand clean energy sources, like geothermal, to help meet America’s rising electricity needs.

The Amazon is center stage at #COP30 in Belém, Brazil. It's vital for climate—but illegal deforestation for agriculture threatens its role. Para's government is flipping the script: rewarding producers who protect the forest. nature.org/en-us/what-we-do/…

Tag the herd, protect the Amazon

By tracking every cow, the Pará Sustainable Cattle Program shows how cattle traceability in Brazil can play a key role in protecting the Amazon—and encourage sustainable development as well.

Nature is more than a backdrop, it’s a powerful ally. Around the world, communities are restoring ecosystems, protecting water, planting trees and preparing for climate impacts. Together, we’re building climate-strong communities that can thrive in a changing world. Learn what this can look like: nature.ly/3Hkr1MV

The Nature Conservancy’s Save Our Shells (SOS) program continues to make a strong impact, recycling thousands of pounds of oyster shells each month. In June alone, more than 21,000 pounds of shells were collected from 13 participating restaurants along the Coast.

Despite a nationwide outcry, Senate Republicans are barreling ahead with Senator Lee's deranged proposal to sell our shared public lands to the highest bidder. Let me be clear: I will not stop fighting until this proposal is dead and buried. Americans will not stand to have the hiking, climbing, and hunting spots we love put up for sale.

🌱 Expanding renewables, like wind and solar, can help reduce pressure on rising electric bills—but only if policymakers keep clean energy tax credits in place. @Bfrist shares how clean energy is supporting American families in his recent @forbes column. forbes.com/sites/billfrist/2…
