One of Island Conservation’s philanthropic partners recently declared:
“It’s so hard to get conservation ‘wins’ these days, with the notable exceptions of removing a dam or eradicating invasive species from islands.”
We are honored to work with our donors, partners, and friends on one of the greatest, most immediate, and most enduring returns on conservation investments—preventing extinctions by removing invasive species from islands. Our message is one of hope and conservation “wins.”
In our 2013/2014 Impact Report, you’ll find incredible stories of recovery from the last year and a half told first-hand by our very own Island Conservation staff members.
