About

Conservation Nation is a nonprofit organization based in Washington, D.C., focused on making wildlife conservation accessible to a wider audience. Launched in 2021, it aims to foster an inclusive wildlife conservation movement and preserve the planet. The organization emerged from an initiative by Friends of the National Zoo, which has a long history of supporting wildlife conservation. The mission of Conservation Nation is to support conservationists from traditionally marginalized groups and inspire the next generation of wildlife champions. It offers wildlife conservation grants to fund projects led by underrepresented communities and provides educational programs that highlight role models in conservation. The Conservation Nation Collective, initiated in 2022, allows Champion Donors to collaborate on innovative conservation projects that promote sustainability and community engagement. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Conservation Nation is dedicated to building a global community committed to wildlife conservation.
