4b4c) (Expenses $552,228,504 including grants of $56,971,368 ) (Revenue $894,786,800 )General update on program accomplishments from Nature Conservancy President and CEO Mark Tercek: At the Nature

Conservancy, our strength has always come from our ability to innovate and adapt. We got our start by protecting land threatened
by development, and later moved into new areas including marine and freshwater protection. As threats to our mission havechanged, we've changed, too. Climate change, rapid population growth and growing pressure on natural resources have allcontributed to a time of rapid and necessary evolution at TNC. As we respond to a rapidly changing world, it's essential that our
strategies remain grounded in solid science. So we recently asked our science team to step back and look at the big picture. We
asked: Between now and 2050, can we really have it all-a future where people get the food, energy and economic growth theyneed without sacrificing nature? Good news: The answer is "yes." If-and it's a big "if"-we do things right. Two Paths To do things
right, we need to know what we're up against. So we asked our senior scientists to establish a set of base assumptions-realistic
projections for expected growth in global population, gross domestic product, and demand for food and energy between now and
2050. Then they looked at two likely outcomes for nature and people. We'll call these "business as usual" and the "conservation(Continued on Schedule O, Statement 1)(Code:) (Expenses $0 including grants of $0 ) (Revenue $0 )Protect Lands and Waters By partnering with indigenous people, local communities, governments and corporations and by
employing innovative financial strategies and applying smart infrastructure siting principles, we focus on large-scale opportunities
with the potential to protect more nature in the next five years than we have during our entire history. Caribbean: The dual-island
nation of St Kitts and Nevis declared a new marine managed area that protects a two-mile radius around the entire island nation,
protecting 60 percent of its near-shore marine shelf. The Conservancy has been involved for years in the community andstakeholder discussions, sharing knowledge and creating the first marine zoning map that informed the protected area boundaries.
Texas: The Conservancy acquired 2,129 acres along the Bahia Grande coastal corridor, marking the first land protection deal in
the state funded by the RESTORE Act, which was passed to help regional communities along the Gulf of Mexico recover from the2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill. These newly protected tracts are critical to restoring the Bahia Grande's extensive tidal bay
system; they anchor a 7,000-acre wildlife corridor linking two large national wildlife refuges, the Lower Rio Grande Valley and theLaguna Atascosa, and enhance the protection of the Laguna Madre, the largest hypersaline lagoon system in North America.
(Continued on Schedule O, Statement 2)(Code:) (Expenses $0 including grants of $0 ) (Revenue $0 )Build Healthy Cities We are demonstrating how green infrastructure, such as planting trees in cities, can address urban challenges,
including stormwater run off, air pollution and heat islands, and also generate benefits for communities, for people's health and forthe economy. Australia: Melbourne regularly ranks as one of the world's most livable cities, but industrial, commercial andresidential development accompany such popularity. That's why retention and growth of bushland and other green areas in
Melbourne are so important, along with trees' ability to provide cooling summer shade and healthy, breathable air. The
Conservancy's partnership with Resilient Melbourne includes developing the Melbourne Metropolitan Urban Forest Strategy tohelp plan for a greener Melbourne. Alabama: The Nature Conservancy has teamed up with public school programs and otherpartners in Birmingham to provide urban youth with hands-on experience in environmental science careers that also benefit theenvironmental health of their cities. In Birmingham's blighted Woodlawn neighborhood, students are engaged in restoring vacantlots into green oases that inspire community pride while helping cool the city, clean its air and accommodate recreation.

Schedule D, Part II, Line 3 - During the tax year 9 easements were transferred or sold - all to qualified organizations as defined in IRC Sec.
170(h)(3) and the related regulations and all as required and consistent with the conservation action plan for the properties. Easements
transferred or sold were: (1) Bristol Marsh (Borough of Bristol) Amendment 3/4/1997; (2) Bristol Marsh (Rohm and Haas) 12/9/1986; (3)Sandhills (Haskell 2) 12/30/2015; (4) Altamaha River (Sansavilla Stage 2); (5) Ordway/Glacial Lakes (Marcum2) CE 3/25/2016; (6) Upper
MN River Valley (Bakeberg) CE 9/26/2016; (7) Rocky Mountain Front (Floweree Land & Cattle Company, LLC - Main Ranch and Goose
Lake); (8) Tanner; and (9) Christiansen. During the tax year 2 easements were amended. The amended easements were: (1) Sandhills(Johnson) 2/2/2004 to add an additional 20.54 acres to the easement; and (2) Rivanna Watershed (Prana Land LLC et al) 12/28/2005 toallow modifications to the 122 acre portion owned by Albemarle County to permit low impact recreational use and river access to a publicpark.
Schedule D, Part II, Line 5 - The Nature Conservancy's written policy regarding the periodic monitoring, inspection, violations, andenforcement of the conservation easements it holds is governed by our Standard Operating Procedure, Conservation Easements and Deed
Restrictions. Excerpts from the procedure follow. Each Business Unit will be responsible for monitoring compliance with the terms of all
Conservation Interests for which it must prepare or obtain a Baseline. For purposes of this Standard Operating Procedure, "Business Unit"
means the Conservancy business unit in which the Conservation Interest is located or, if different, the Conservancy Business Unit
responsible for monitoring and enforcement of the Conservation Interest. A. Monitoring Team. Each Business Unit will establish a
Monitoring Team which will consist of at least one staff member and may include third party volunteers or contractors. All members of theMonitoring Team must be trained on Conservancy procedures and practices for monitoring Conservation Interests. The Monitoring Teamwill be responsible for ensuring that monitoring is completed and documented in accordance with this SOP. B. Monitoring Frequency.
Conservation Interests will be monitored at least once each calendar year beginning with the calendar year after the Conservation Interest
was accepted or acquired. The first monitoring will occur no more than 15 months after the date the Conservation Interest was accepted or
acquired. C. Time and Expense Reporting. To comply with Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") requirements use Activity Code 10000 (called"Easement Monitoring") to report all expenses incurred in inspecting, monitoring and enforcing Conservation Easements. Business Units
must follow the Finance Department's guidance for reporting: 1. Staff hours (to be reported in bi-weekly time reports), 2. Volunteer hours (tothe extent required by Finance Department guidance), 3. Contractor fees (including outside counsel fees), and 4. Travel and other related
Schedule D (Form 990) 2016

Schedule D (Form 990) 2016

Part XIII - Supplemental Information (Continued)
expenses. D. Monitoring Reports. Monitoring results must be documented contemporaneously (within two months after monitoring occurs)in a report that describes the condition of the property and the protected conservation values as defined in the Conservation Interest. The
monitoring report must include the information described in Checklist of Required Fields for Compliance Monitoring Template. Business
Units may modify the templates or create their own monitoring report form provided that it contains the required content. Business Units: 1.
are encouraged to use the same form consistently for all Conservation Interests that the BU monitors and in all cases, all required fields
must be completed; 2. are encouraged to provide the landowner with a copy of the monitoring report and request that it be signed and, if
feasible, notarized to indicate landowner's agreement with its contents; and 3. must maintain monitoring reports in accordance with theConservancy's Records Retention Schedule. 3 E. Compliance Status. The Monitoring Team, with approval of the Business Unit director or
the director's designee, shall determine the compliance status of the Conservation Interest as one of the following: 1. In compliance 2. In
review 3. In violation. If voluntary resolution of a violation is not possible (e.g., because the time period to bring a judicial action will end
under applicable statutes of limitation), the Business Unit will proceed with formal enforcement. Formal enforcement action shall be taken inaccordance with an enforcement plan to be developed by the Business Unit and assigned attorney and approved by the Regional Director
or in the U.S., by the Division Director. If the enforcement plan includes litigation, approval of the responsible Associate General Counsel
and General Counsel shall be obtained prior to initiation of litigation.
Schedule D, Part II, Line 9 - The Conservancy records land and land interests at cost if purchased or at fair value at the date of acquisition,
if all or part of the land was received as a donation. Fair value is generally determined by appraisal at the time of acquisition and is not
subsequently adjusted. Upon sale or gift, the book value of the land or land interest is reported as a program expense and the related
proceeds, if any, are reported as revenue in the consolidated statement of activities. Conservation land is real property with significant
ecological value. These properties are either managed in an effort to protect the natural biological diversity of the property, or transferred toother organizations who will manage the lands in a similar fashion. Conservation easements are comprised of listed rights and/or
restrictions over the owned property that are conveyed by a property owner to the Conservancy, almost always in perpetuity, in order toprotect the owned property as a significant natural area, as defined in federal tax regulations. These intangible assets may be sold ortransferred to others so long as the assignee agrees to carry out, in perpetuity, the conservation purposes intended by the original grantor.
Conservation easements, by their very nature, do not generate material amounts of cash inflow annually.
Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 - The Endowment includes approximately 770 individual endowment funds. The Endowment provides stablefinancial support to a wide variety of programs and activities in perpetuity, playing a critical role in enabling the Conservancy to achieve its
mission. Programs supported by the Endowment include restoring, monitoring, and managing natural areas owned by the Conservancy andothers, as well as, many other activities and actions vital to the preservation of natural diversity. The Endowment includes both
donor-restricted endowment funds and funds designated by the Board of Directors (Board) to function as endowments. Net assets
associated with endowment funds, including Board-designated endowment funds, are classified and reported based on the existence orabsence of donor-imposed restrictions.
Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 - The Conservancy has been granted an exemption from Federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of theInternal Revenue Code. The Internal Revenue Service has classified The Conservancy as other than a private foundation. The
Conservancy pays a nominal amount of tax relating to several unrelated business income activities, primarily rental income fromdebt-financed property. The Conservancy takes no tax positions that it considers to be uncertain.

Procedure the purpose of which is to ensure compliance with government laws and regulations and to ensure the efficient and effective

The SOP is excerpted as follows: All staff responsible forgovernment grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and other agreements will negotiate and administer such awards in an efficient andeffective manner. The Conservancy has a Grants Service Network to ensure that this occurs, including assuring compliance with allapplicable funder statutes and regulations.

Operating Procedure. In order to effectively manage these agreements and to ensure accountability, the Conservancy employs a teamapproach during all stages of the process, from pre-proposal discussions with potential funding agencies through final closeout of specificagreements. Working as a team assures that the Conservancy successfully secures government funding for conservation projects andcarries out these projects in compliance with both external and internal requirements, negotiating the best possible agreements andensuring the projects are completed on time and within budget.

Part IV

Supplemental Information. Provide the information required in Part I, line 2; Part III, column (b); and any other additional information.

Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 - The Nature Conservancy's procedure for monitoring grants within the United States is governed by the Government Grants, Cooperative Agreements, Contracts
and Other Agreements Negotiation and Administration Standard Operating Procedure the purpose of which is to ensure compliance with government laws and regulations and to ensure
the efficient and effective management of funds provided by U.S. federal, state and local governments, other national and local governments, and multilateral sources by the Conservancy,
as well as Conservancy funds provided to other entities. The SOP is excerpted as follows: All staff responsible for government grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and otheragreements will negotiate and administer such awards in an efficient and effective manner. The Conservancy has a Grants Service Network to ensure that this occurs, including assuring
compliance with all applicable funder statutes and regulations. The attached table assigns performance responsibilities to the key positions involved in the negotiation and administrationof the following types of agreements: 1. agreements to the Conservancy from United States federal, state and local government agencies, multilateral agencies, and other national andlocal governments; and 2. the Conservancy's grants of funds to other entities, including those funded by a government agency, multilateral organization, other non-profit organization,
private foundation, or private donor. Conservancy grants to other entities are also subject to the "Grants by the Nature Conservancy to Grantees" Standard Operating Procedure. In order
to effectively manage these agreements and to ensure accountability, the Conservancy employs a team approach during all stages of the process, from pre-proposal discussions withpotential funding agencies through final closeout of specific agreements. Working as a team assures that the Conservancy successfully secures government funding for conservation
projects and carries out these projects in compliance with both external and internal requirements, negotiating the best possible agreements and ensuring the projects are completed ontime and within budget. Essential team members are a Project Manager, a Grants Specialist, and an Attorney. As appropriate, team members at any stage of the process should solicit
input from staff in their respective Business Units, such as finance, philanthropy, external affairs or other conservation staff.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b - The Form 990 is prepared, based on financial statements audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers, andother internally generated information by the Conservancy's Director of Tax Services. The Form is further reviewed by the Conservancy's
Internal Audit Department (which provides independent verification of certain information) and members of Senior Management. As outlined
in its charter, the Audit Committee then reviews any significant issues or judgments relating to disclosures in the Conservancy's Form 990.
Finally, copies are provided to the full Board of Directors for their comment prior to filing with the IRS.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c - The Nature Conservancy's monitoring and enforcement of its conflicts policy is governed by its
Conflict of Interest Standard Operating Procedure ("SOP") which is excerpted as follows: Before engaging in any activity on behalf of theConservancy, staff must determine (a) whether the activity could give rise to a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest,
and, if so, (b) whether the conflict can or should be avoided to protect the best interests of the Conservancy. If it is not reasonably possible
to avoid a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest, or it is not in the Conservancy's best interest to do so, staff must
determine appropriate strategies to mitigate and manage the potential adverse consequences of the conflict and obtain approval, as
described below, prior to engaging in the activity. A conflict of interest exists when an individual who is responsible for acting in the bestinterests of the Conservancy has another interest or loyalty that could influence or impair, or may appear to influence or impair, theindividual's ability to act in the best interests of the Conservancy. As used throughout the SOP, the terms "conflict" and "conflict of interest"
include: 1. actual conflicts of interest; 2. potential conflicts of interest (situations that could become actual conflicts in the future based upon
foreseeable events or the passage of time); and 3. perceived conflicts of interest (situations that others could reasonably perceive to be, or
have the appearance of, a conflict of interest). Generally, conflicts can arise from relationships between the Conservancy and staff, Board
members, trustees and advisors, and the families of all those groups. There are very specific rules regarding who is a "covered person" thatare governed, in great part, by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service requirements for public charities. If a conflict of interest is identified whichcannot reasonably be avoided or it is not in the best interest of the Conservancy to do so, before proceeding with the proposed activity,
review and approval to proceed must be obtained as described in this section. While a request for approval of a proposed course of action ispending or being considered, the transaction or activity cannot proceed. A. Board and Key Employee certifications. All Conservancy Board
members and key employees shall annually certify that they have read the Conflicts of Interest Policy and have disclosed all conflicts. B.
Supervisor Approval Required. In the case of staff, prior to submission for review and approval to the Conflicts Committee the conflict ofinterest must be raised to the individual's supervisor and the supervisor must make the determination that he or she (a) wishes to pursue theproposed activity and (b) approves the recommended course of action and proposed mitigation as sufficient. Signature on the Approval form
indicates this approval. Regional level approval also is required. C. Conflicts Committee Review Required. The Conflicts Committee reviews
and makes determinations about conflicts of interest involving the Conservancy, unless excepted by this SOP. See Conflicts of Interest for
the Conflicts Committee charter, meeting schedule and list of Committee members. Staff must submit a Request for Conflicts Committee
Approval form to the Conflicts Committee when seeking review and approval. The form should explain why the conflict cannot or should not
be avoided and recommend a course of action designed to minimize the conflict's potential adverse consequences. By submitting the form,
both the person submitting the form and his/her supervisor (a) are responsible for ensuring that the form makes a thorough disclosure of therelevant information, and (b) are deemed to support and be responsible for the recommended course of action. The appropriate
Conservancy attorney may be consulted to assist in analyzing the conflict. Board Members and Trustees should contact the Conservancy's
Chief Compliance Officer to request a review by the Conflicts Committee. D. Review by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. All
conflicts of interest involving a member of the Board of Directors, a Director's family members, a Director's Controlled Entities, or a
Substantial Contributor shall be submitted to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors for review and disposition. Referral to the Audit
Committee is made by the General Counsel or Chief Compliance Officer on behalf of the Conflicts Committee along with therecommendation for disposition made by the Conflicts Committee.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 - Review Process for Officer and Key Employee Compensation: The President and Chief Executive
Officer's, as well as, members of the Executive Team's performances and compensation are reviewed annually by the Board of Directors.
The performance and compensation of all other Key Employees is reviewed annually by their direct supervisor. All compensation amounts
are based on information provided by an independent compensation consultant who utilizes comparable data from Form 990's from otherorganizations and compensation survey's and studies to ensure reasonableness.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 18 - The Nature Conservancy's governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements
are available to the public via our website: nature.org.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 - The Nature Conservancy's governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements

pathway." The "business as usual" scenario assumes that humankind carries on as usual, taking insufficient measures to save the planet. This is a direpath. The world warms by 3 degrees Celsius-exceeding recommendations set forth in the Paris agreement; 5 billion people have trouble breathing
because of polluted air; 84 percent of fisheries are wiped out; and only 8 percent of lands are protected. Now let's look at the "conservation pathway."
Here, the science projects a much better scenario. The planet warms, but not as much. Bad air affects some 1 billion people-much fewer, but still too
many. All global fisheries will be sustainable, and double the amount of land will be protected-a much better outcome for biodiversity. At TNC we feel weare morally obligated to do everything we can to help the world shift from "business as usual" to the "conservation pathway." It won't be easy. But we areconfident that it can be done. The Nature Conservancy's Role What can TNC do to help put the world on the path to sustainability? Where can we makethe biggest difference? What challenges align with our experiences, resources and know-how? These are the questions my colleagues across theorganization have focused on over the past year. In the end, working with our scientists, program leaders and volunteers from across the organization,
we settled on five priorities-the areas where TNC is best positioned to make a measurable and meaningful impact: Protect Lands and Waters Protecting
land and water at scale always has been-and always will be-our bread-and-butter work. It's what brought many of us, including me, to TNC. Now we'realso using new tools, like impact capital, to unlock new sources of funding for this work. And we're using strategies like Development by Design totransform the way governments and businesses site, design and operate infrastructure in a way that minimizes environmental harm. We're setting thebar higher than we ever have before. If we do this right, we'll protect more nature in the next five years than we have in the last 66. It's ambitious, but I
think we can do it. Tackle Climate Change From fieldwork to federal policy, TNC has long been a leader in tackling climate change. Take, for example,
our work protecting forests, from Colorado to Brazil, to sequester more carbon from the atmosphere. We've also worked on restoring ecosystems, like
coral reefs and sand dunes, to help people and nature adapt to extreme weather events. And we've been on the ground influencing international climate
negotiations. But several years ago, we decided we needed to do even more. That's why we're ramping up efforts to drive smart climate and energy
policy. We're using innovative finance to drive large-scale investments in a wide range of nature-based climate solutions. And all 50 of our U.S. state
chapters are pursuing bipartisan, practical solutions for a prosperous and cleaner future. Provide Food and Water Sustainably By 2050, demand for foodis expected to grow by 55 percent, as more people enter the middle class and transition to protein-rich diets. By working with farmers, ranchers, fishers
and water managers, we think it's possible to meet that demand in a climate-smart and environmentally friendly way. In the Amazon, for instance, we're
working throughout the production chain to demonstrate how farming and ranching can increase production without clearing more land. And in fisheries
around the world, we are applying technology to track and ensure that catches are sustainable, while creating protected areas where fisheries canrecover. Build Healthy Cities Urban conservation work is critical to building a more sustainable future. Soon, three-quarters of the world's population will
live in cities. And we want city residents to be on nature's side. That's why we're now working in 25 cities around the world to demonstrate how nature
can address urban challenges-like stormwater runoff, air pollution and the heat island effect-in a cost-effective way. We want to show decision-makers,
from city hall to local businesses, that nature is key to building sustainable, flourishing cities. Connect Nature and People The Nature Conservancy has
always been known for our pragmatic, inclusive style of conservation. We're proud of the partnerships we've built with businesses, governments,
indigenous peoples and local communities. But we need even more people on our side. From expanding our work with the health and development
sectors to engaging a greater diversity of people in our work, we're ramping up our efforts to help more people understand the many ways nature
improves our lives. One Conservancy To achieve the goals associated with these priorities, we are aligning our globally dispersed organization behindthem. The stakes are so high that we have no choice but to ask each operating unit to make its maximum contribution to these priorities. We're coming
together as never before to move ahead as one team. This is what gives me great optimism as we face the challenges ahead. What follows in thesepages is a glimpse at actions we've proudly achieved in the past year toward these five priorities. It's just a sampling of the hundreds of ongoing projects
in the 72 countries where we work. We're also giving you a look into the future at a handful of efforts that are just off the drawing board. We want you to
see the continuity of what we're accomplishing now and how we want to push the envelope going forward. As supporters of our work, you are at thevanguard of moving beyond "business as usual" to a transformative "conservation pathway," where we can truly achieve our mission to protect the lands
and waters on which all life depends.

Argentina: After four years of negotiations, The Conservancy helped close the nation's second conservation easement, a precedent-setting legal
agreement that will ensure the conservation of 99,000 acres in the Somuncura Plateau, a conservation priority nestled in Patagonia's iconic grasslands.
Easements are a particularly good fit for Patagonia, where nearly 80 percent of the land is privately owned. The Conservancy estimates that withappropriate incentives, conservation easements could help protect 1.5 million acres there over the next five years. Wyoming: The Nature Conservancy
and a broad coalition of partners finalized one of the largest voluntary conservation agreements in recent history. More than 15 years in the making, theagreement implements a conservation strategy across 13.2 million acres in Wyoming's Thunder Basin and northward into Montana. Tackle Climate
Change Efforts to implement cost-effective natural climate solutions, including reforestation and avoided deforestation, can deliver more than one-third of
the needed greenhouse gas emission reductions required by 2030. And by driving policy changes, we can accelerate our transition to a clean energy
future. New York: The Conservancy entered into a precedent-setting agreement with the city of Albany to participate in the Working Woodlands carbon
market program, which provides carbon credits, in the form of cash payments, for landowners to take steps to protect and manage their forests in orderto store carbon and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. By committing to formal protections for its watershed, the city will keep the landscape intact,
improve forest health and protect its drinking water supply for future generations. This transaction helps mitigate climate change, as well as achieve land
and water protection goals, and is replicable throughout New York and other states. Mexico: The Nature Conservancy has joined with Swiss Re, aleading global reinsurance company, and hotel owners on Mexico's Mayan Riviera to launch a first-of-its-kind pilot to insure the coral reefs that protect
the tourism-dependent coast between Cancun and Tulum. The pilot demonstrates how to insure coastal natural ecosystems and offers an associatedsource of funding for ongoing reef protection and repair. A large hurricane would trigger near-immediate payouts. By having the money arrive quickly,
reef repairs could begin sooner. Alaska: The Conservancy secured the sale and permanent retirement of the 62,000-acre Bering River coal field in agroundbreaking transaction that also ensures forest protections and long-term income for an Alaska Native community. The transaction illustrates how
land can be managed in a way that yields both financial and environmental benefits. Indonesia: In East Kalimantan's Berau District-a region nearly thesize of Belize-the government of Indonesia and TNC are partners in the Berau forest carbon program. Through Communities Inspiring Actions for
Change (SIGAP in Indonesian), TNC is helping East Kalimantan communities gain rights to access and manage their forests, formulate green
development plans, develop forest-friendly livelihoods and secure additional financial support. Most recently the NetHope 2017 Device Challenge(funded by Google.org) is delivering 1,700 smartphones to 100 villages in East Kalimantan and training villagers to use our SIGAP app to help themprotect their forests and improve their lives through the power of technology. Provide Food & Water Sustainably To provide the food and water people
need without sacrificing the environment, we are working with farmers, ranchers, fishers and water managers to create sustainable supplies, reduce
negative environmental impacts, promote economic growth and green supply chains, and create policies that enable sustainability. Hawaii: Capping a
17-year effort, TNC provided scientific data and other critical support to help the community secure a 10-year marine reserve at Ka'upulehu, on the North
Kona Coast of Hawaii, to restore abundance to a once thriving fishery, the first such community-created marine reserve in the state. Colorado: The
Nature Conservancy is contracting with the Grand Valley Water Users Association to keep 3,200 acre-feet of water (about a billion gallons) in the
Colorado River. The association is contracting, in turn, with individual farmers and ranchers to forgo irrigation in return for financial compensation. The
project's participants are fallowing approximately 1,250 acres for up to two years, allowing much-needed flows to remain in the river to provide
systemwide benefits, including environmental flow improvements for two endangered fish species. Latin America: The Nature Conservancy and partners
created three new water funds in Cartagena, Colombia; Santa Marta and Cienaga, Colombia; and Guatemala City. Water funds are mechanisms thatincentivize urban water users to fund conservation actions upstream in the watershed to ensure reliable flows of clean water downstream. Thus far,
TNC, as part of the Latin America Water Funds Partnership, has helped create 23 water funds, conserving nearly 300,000 hectares with improved
environmental management on an additional 1.6 million hectares, with more than 200 private and public partners. Washington A new agreement with the
Hoh River Trust gives TNC ownership of more than 10,000 acres of vital habitat for restoration and renewal in the Hoh River Valley in the Olympic
rainforest. Connecting the mountains of Olympic National Park to the sea, the mossy Hoh River is among Washington's most iconic places. Clear andundammed, the river hosts one of the healthiest wild salmon runs in the lower 48 states.

Africa: As our first project in this African nation, TNC is working with others to establish a water fund in Cape Town, a city in the grip of drought. A
primary culprit is thirsty, non-native, ornamental plants that are sucking the watershed dry. Removal of these invasive species also can be a job creatorfor underserved urban communities. Connecticut: In collaboration with local partners, TNC has embarked on a community greening effort in Bridgeport's
East Side neighborhood that includes developing green stormwater infrastructure, planting trees and engaging volunteers in stewardship of parks andother natural areas. The Eco-Urban Assessment model, which informed TNC's decision to work in the East Side, is now being replicated in other cities inConnecticut and is guiding the chapter to other neighborhoods in Bridgeport. Connect People and Nature To create a world where people and nature
thrive will require paradigm-shifting strategies that change how people value nature. We need more people to understand the critical role nature plays in
our lives and, in response, more people will be inspired to step up and do what they can to save nature. China: The Nature Conservancy in China isleading the organization in its digital outreach to raise public awareness and education in support of nature. Among its successful campaigns has been
the joint outreach with United Nations Environment and the International Fund for Animal Welfare for World Wildlife Day 2017 where TNC collaborated
with more than 30 celebrities to reach at least half a billion people in China. Illinois: The Conservancy is connecting people to nature in Chicago's diverse
communities through volunteerism. Across 1,604 acres of natural areas at 70 sites within the city, TNC partnered with the Chicago Park District toexpand volunteer opportunities by hosting roughly 400 workdays last year. USA: Corporate engagement provided expanded outreach opportunities,
including with Lowe's to catalyze school garden builds and revitalizations in more than 50 schools in underserved communities across the country; with
PepsiCo's Recycle for Nature campaign to protect drinking water through recycling and save at least 1.2 billion gallons of water over five years; and withsome 80 brewers in 25 states, from Deschutes to Dogfish Head, through OktoberForest, a campaign to raise awareness and support healthy forests andclean water. Africa: Africa's Great Lakes hold one-third of the world's surface fresh water. The Nature Conservancy spearheaded the African Great
Lakes Conference, an unprecedented gathering on the Ugandan shores of Lake Victoria, bringing together those who best understand the challenges
these seven major lakes face with those who can put into practice activities to lessen those threats. Critical to the conference's success was acollaboration with TNC's North American Great Lakes team.
