Connecticut Conservation Association

The Connecticut Conservation Association, based in Bridgeport, CT, is dedicated to protecting and preserving the natural resources that are vital for our sustenance, including food, fresh water, and livelihoods. They work tirelessly to stabilize our climate by safeguarding and restoring ecosystems such as forests, mangroves, and peatlands that absorb carbon emissions. Additionally, they strive to double the amount of ocean area under protection, while also developing innovative science to safeguard coral reefs, mangroves, and the high seas that support all life on Earth.

With a focus on expanding nature-positive economies, the Connecticut Conservation Association assists countries in building self-sustaining economies that prioritize the protection of nature rather than its destruction. Since 1987, they have combined fieldwork with advancements in science, policy, and finance to secure the invaluable benefits that nature provides to humanity. Their approach to conservation emphasizes the importance of human well-being, respecting human rights, promoting gender equality, and creating opportunities for local communities to thrive while also protecting the environment.
