WHAT WE CAN ACHIEVE TOGETHER
The Director of Development, Global Protect is responsible for leading on all aspects of the development program to secure significant financial resources in support of TNC's Protection goals and the Global Protect business unit. The Nature Conservancy's mission drives us to conserve representative and resilient land, ocean, and freshwater habitats around the world so that people and nature thrive together. Conservation of these systems is built on a foundation of ecosystem protection, but our definition of "protect" is broader and more inclusive in today's warmer, more crowded world, where we face the interconnected global crises of biodiversity loss, climate change, and inequity. Indeed, TNC's 2030 Goals demand that we strongly invest in protection efforts, while embracing broader and more inclusive approaches to protecting our oceans, freshwaters, and lands.
Our Global Protect programs include global strategies to protect a representative, effective, durable, and inclusive 30% of the planet. We have 3 priority pathways aligned with TNC's global campaign: Transformative Management and Protection - accelerating global 30x30 commitments{rel="nofollow"} and implementation and a 'One Conservancy Protection Initiative' to support the organizations highest priority protection work; our Enduring Earth collaboration to unlock unprecedented Project Finance for Permanence (PFPs){rel="nofollow"} initiatives around the globe; and Nature Bonds{rel="nofollow"}, a critical mechanism to secure global commitments and financing through debt conversions. We also seek to actively elevate underrepresented systems through durable Freshwater and Ocean Protection efforts and the science and leadership that underpins all of our work.
