The Nature Conservancy Celebrates International Pride Day and Pride Month 2025

At The Nature Conservancy, we celebrate all our employees—and this June, we’re excited to celebrate our LGBTQ+ employees on International Pride Day (June 28) and during Pride Month, and to recognize their contributions toward creating a future with a livable climate, healthy communities and thriving nature.

Guided by our Nature’s Pride employee resource group and colleagues throughout TNC, we’re using our voice to recognize the strength, resilience and resolve our LGBTQ+ employees bring to our mission, and their embodiment of our unwavering belief that conservation is best advanced by the leadership and contributions of people from widely diverse backgrounds, experiences and identities.

What We Stand For: Our Guiding Principles

We stand for our mission and the future we’re working toward: a world with a livable climate, healthy communities and thriving nature.

To make this vision a reality, we must safeguard our efforts to address climate change and biodiversity loss. And we must support our colleagues who make this work possible. It’s the only way we can continue to effect change at the scale required—the scale for which we’re uniquely positioned.

We are steadfast in our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion in our workplace and in our conservation work.

Just as nature requires biodiversity to thrive, a healthy workforce needs diversity to succeed in its mission. We are committed to fostering a diverse workforce, where all colleagues feel valued and respected, and free from harassment or bias. An inclusive workforce, guided by our values, that upholds a collaborative culture that supports one another and the people and places we serve. And a workforce where everyone has equal opportunity to excel.

We know that we make better decisions, see greater innovation, and achieve stronger, more lasting conservation outcomes when we respect and learn from a variety of experiences and ways of thinking.

We are committed to our time-tested approach.

For 74 years, we’ve worked across the political spectrum—and will continue to do so. We’ve collaborated with all levels of government to advance science-grounded solutions that benefit nature and people—and will continue to do so. We’ve ensured that our work reflects our commitment to respect for people, cultures and communities around the world—and will continue to do so.
