Alabama's Unique Nature

-

Healthy Waters
Our waters are the most ecologically diverse in the U.S.. However, they also lead the nation in aquatic extinctions. Together we can protect and maintain our rivers, lakes and streams to ensure they are clean and abundant for all Alabamians.
Resilient Lands
Our lands provide a respite and sustenance for people and wildlife. However, climate change, demand for food and energy, development and other pressures are straining nature’s ability to remain in balance and to support communities.
Thriving Coast
Our coastal ecosystems are among Alabama’s most precious resources—and also among its most endangered. The impacts of offshore oil production, frequent and more severe storms, climate change and pollution from cities and farms are compounding.
Places We Protect
From the Gulf coast to our 18 river systems, The Nature Conservancy is working to protect Alabama for people and nature.

Case For Support
Alabama is the center of the world’s biological diversity of freshwater invertebrates and the continental center of diversity for many other plants and animals. There are hundreds of species in Alabama that are found nowhere else on Earth.. Help us with the critical work of conserving Alabama.
