The Clean Energy Compass is TNC’s new first-stop tool that helps decision-makers identify conservation and community considerations earlier, when there is still time to adjust plans, engage the right people and create better outcomes. See more: nature.ly/4xIYJ3g

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
How is America's largest natural habitat also one of its least understood?🌾
New survey data reveals a disconnect: half of Americans say they are unfamiliar with grasslands, yet when they learn more, recognition of their importance more than doubles.⬇️ nature.org/en-us/newsroom/ha…

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
🌲New data. Local opportunity. Real climate impact. The Reforestation Hub has been updated with new tools to help states hit their reforestation goals, and help communities and decision‑makers focus on places where trees can deliver the greatest benefits. reforestationhub.org

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…

“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…
Last week, Kameran Onley represented @nature_org at @BPC_Bipartisan's permitting summit. It was an important discussion about how we can find solutions to modernizing permitting processes so that we can reach our climate and conservation goals. Learn more: nature.org/en-us/about-us/wh…
Across the country, from Washington to Ohio to Massachusetts, state legislatures are creating policies to guide renewable energy development. Our new report provides a roadmap for states to continue the momentum, while protecting nature and communities. nature.ly/4qDsno0

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/…

Last year's UN Climate Conference fell short of the major breakthroughs many had hoped for. What could be different at #COP30, which kicks off this month in Belém, Brazil?

Today is the 5th anniversary of the Great American Outdoors Act! This law permanently funded #LWCF, which means there are more parks, jobs and outdoor recreation opportunities. ACT NOW to tell Congress to defend LWCF to protect our lands and waters. nature.ly/41E4mBT
