What We Bring:

TNCC: TNC-The Nature Conservancy Centre (TNCC) is registered in India as a non-profit Section 8 company. TNCC also has  12A and 80G registration under the Income Tax Act. We are working on several key initiatives that are advancing  environmental solutions for some of India’s most pressing challenges. We are working hard to demonstrate conservation  results and achieve early “wins” that promote equitable economic development while conserving natural resources for  people and nature.

We aim to meet increasing demands for energy resources, water supply and food production with low  environmental impact, and in a mind-set where nature is seen as a critical input to these key human needs. We do this by  engaging governments, the private sector and civil society to ensure that conservation is a critical outcome in economic  development.

We address challenges to nature with the goal of promoting healthy lands and waters as well as climate  mitigation and adaptation. We pursue a shared nature-people agenda and is working to demonstrate that conservation and  development can be pursued in tandem. Visit https://www.tncindia.in/ to learn more.
