17、ERVATION INTERNATIONAL45OPTIMISM IN ACTION Dear friends,In“The Sun Also Rises,”one character asks another how he managed to go bankrupt.“Gradually,”he replies,“and then suddenly.”In my experience,this is also the nature of social change.It accretes slowly,almost imperceptibly until one day,we wake u

18、p in a new world.This past year,after decades of stagnation and stalemate,we witnessed a tectonic shift in global policy.The United States earmarked nearly$400 billion for clean energy,putting the worlds largest per-capita emitter on track to slash emissions 40 percent by the end of the decade.In De

19、cember,nearly 200 coun-tries finalized a highly anticipated agreement to protect 30 percent of the worlds land and sea by 2030.Then,just two months later,we won a landmark agreement to protect the high seas.Imagine Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda,the United States and China all finding c

20、ommon ground.Nature has become the great unifier,bringing politicians together across the aisle,across borders and across deep cultural divides.Governments have finally called our movements bluff:They enacted new policies and allocated new funds that conservationists have sought for years.Now,organi

21、zations like ours have a clear mandate to grow at an exponential pace and help turn those historic investments into impact.Conservation International is well-positioned to lead.Despite three years of travel restrictions and field limitations,we entered 2023 with a record-setting$259 million budget,d

22、ozens of new public-and private-sector partners,and big ambitions.In this decisive decade,were focused on projects that are both novel and rapidly scalable.In practice,that means working with local partners to prove brand-new concepts and then,using our global reach to expand those efforts across en

23、tire countries and regions.In South Africa,for example,our teams have worked shoulder-to-shoulder with pastoral communities to revive traditional grazing practices;soon,we will scale our savannah conservation program across five countries in Africa.Meanwhile,our effort to restore 73 million trees in

24、 the Amazon continues to accelerate;we have worked closely with Indigenous peoples there,developing a new approach to tree planting that can increase per-hectare growth threefold.Across the Pacific,in Indonesia,we have partnered with the government and the Green Climate Fund to design a new self-fun

25、ding approach to conserving fish stocks;our ambitious pilot will span nearly 1 million square kilometers of ocean along Sumatra and Java.As always,progress in the field is being fueled by insights from our world-class scientists.Over the past year,our experts have published research that could trans

26、form how we use nature to slow climate change.Our oceans team laid the groundwork for a rapid expansion of the blue carbon market,pioneering new ways to restore mangroves and measure the carbon stored in rich coastal mud.Our forest scientists discovered that culling the climbing vines common in the

27、tropics could potentially double the rate of tree regrowth and capture the annual emissions of some 700 million cars.After years of diligent work,our climate team in partnership with the Potsdam Institute and others,also released the Exponential Roadmap for Natural Climate Solutions,a first-of-its-k

28、ind blueprint for quickly zeroing out the emissions that come from deforestation,agriculture and other forms of land use.Though it has been a volatile year for the world,this much is clear to me:There is tremendous momentum and unity around healing our planet.Our cause has become the worlds and the

29、only limits on what we can achieve will be self-imposed.If we can lead with courage and curiosity,then progress will surely follow gradually,and then suddenly.Dear friends,Over the past year,a once-mighty ice shelf,larger than the whole of New York City,collapsed in Antarctica.A historic monsoon dis

30、placed 30 million people in Pakistan.Ancient pathogens,long stored away,were discovered inside thawing permafrost.The climate crisis has arrived,and these events portend that the threats to humanity are not getting any smaller.This is an all-hands-on-deck moment.For more than three decades,the world

31、 has looked to Conservation International for leadership on protecting biodiversity,managing ecosystem health and harnessing natures power to mitigate the climate crisis.That comes with significant scientific and technical responsibilities,but we also have another,less-discussed obligation:being for

32、thright.We have a duty to balance aspiration with reality to inspire,without misleading.And today,as we consider the persistence of coal power,growing demand for energy and the difficulty of sourcing the rare-earth minerals required for mass electrification,we must acknowl-edge that our window to li

33、mit planetary warming to 1.5C is rapidly closing,though not completely shut.Since 1995,the United Nations has convened an annual conference on climate solutions;every few years,a similar gathering is held on the global biodiversity crisis.At the last UN climate conference,dubbed COP27,diplomats were

34、 tasked with mobilizing climate finance,accelerating the energy transition and im-plementing the nuts-and-bolts of the Paris Agreement.In the wake of COP27,two things were exception-ally clear:First,even though we have seen a remarkable increase in engagement from the private sector and civil societ

35、y,we are not moving fast enough.Second,we have entered an age of adaptation for the foreseeable future,as we work expeditiously toward net-zero,we must also acclimate to a new reality.As urgency builds,our organizations mandate has never been stronger because nature remains the solution to many of o

36、ur most pressing challenges.Nature is what will make communities more resilient as our climate changes;it is also what will help bring temperatures back down if we overshoot the 1.5C target.Last December,countries formally acknowledged this reality when they agreed to conserve 30 percent of the worl

37、ds land and sea by 2030.Protecting and restoring those life-sustaining systems has been our mission for the last 35 years,and it will remain our mission for the next 35.Though we remain resolute,we are not nave.We know,for example,that we cannot singlehandedly change every political culture,or stave

38、 off every recession or prevent every pandemic.But there are many things within our control things that we do exceptionally well.We can help governments,companies and communities be responsible stewards of this worlds natural bounties.We can build a big-tent movement to secure the future of life,bri

39、nging new groups into the fold and unlocking new sources of capital.We can faithfully report the science and data around climate change,so that our plans are rooted in reality and pragmatism.We can couple climate mitigation with adaptation,leveraging the natural tools of resilience provided by Mothe

40、r Nature:biodiversity and healthy ecosystems.We can protect the rights of Indigenous peoples and harness the time-tested power of traditional knowledge.We can reject defeatism,and instead make the radical choice to live in the realm of solutions.This is the only path forward.Thank you for walking it

51、 the destruction of nature.But thats easier said than done,and raises a host of new questions:Who needs to do this?Where?How?And by how much?The world now has the answers needed to take action.In 2022,scientists from Conservation International and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research re

52、leased the Exponential Roadmap for Natural Climate Solutions,a first-of-its-kind blueprint for maximizing natures role in tackling the climate crisis.Rooted in the latest science,the roadmap states that everyone with a land-sector footprint particularly companies,banks and govern-ments must reach“ne

53、t zero”greenhouse gas emissions by 2030,and collectively absorb 10 gigatons of carbon by 2050.Notably,the roadmaps strategies dont rely on hypothetical or costly technologies:In most cases,the roadmap calls for rapidly scaling up effective,long-established practices,including Indigenous knowledge,th

244、ing to plant 14 million more trees across a range of sites in Mexico,Brazil,Madagascar,the Democratic Republic of Congo and Malawi using science-based,community-driven models to identify which restoration technique is best suited to each local context.Meanwhile,the initiative will monitor and evalua

245、te progress in the project areas to ensure the long-term resilience of areas under restoration,and to ensure that local communities are receiving the full benefits of these restoration projects.Last year,we reported on a groundbreaking research paper published by Conservation International scientist

246、 Johann Bell and others.It found that an exodus of tuna from their tradi-tional migratory routes propelled by warming ocean waters could cut the average catch by a staggering 20 percent in the territorial waters of 10 Pacific Island states,resulting in losses of$140 million per year by 2050.We quick

247、ly pivoted to turn research into action.With significant investments from major multilater-als and other funders,Conservation International is rapidly expanding the scope and pace of several complementary projects at the intersection of cli-mate change and tuna fisheries.With major grant awards from

248、 the Global Environment Facility,the Green Climate Fund and Minderoo Foundation,Conservation International is working to deepen global understanding of how climate change affects tuna fisheries,and to secure the climate resilience of tuna fisheries in the Western Pacific,which supplies 60 percent of

249、 the global catch.Finally,with support from the Walmart Foundation,Conservation International completed environmen-tal,social and economic assessments and worked with government and industry stakeholders to co-design improvement strategies in Fiji and New Caledonia.The benefits of this work will be

253、e and,most critically,program delivery.We are delighted to report that Conservation International closed fiscal year 2022(FY22)with truly exceptional results.Our financial statements reflect notable increases in revenues and record expenditures,resulting in significant growth in our programmatic inv

254、estments.REVENUERevenues grew by 22 percent in FY22 to$265.8 million with grants and contributions from foun-dations and corporations accounting for most of this growth.Of note,corporate donors including Mastercard,Procter&Gamble and Hewlett Packard,as well as the Bezos Earth Fund,provid-ed material

255、 support to Conservation International through multi-year grants that fund forest protec-tion and restoration,as well as carbon reduction programs.We were fortunate to secure several additional large foundation gifts in support of our strategic plan to deliver bold,ambitious outcomes to address clim

256、ate change,to protect oceans and to build sustainable,inclusive economies.The economic volatility of the past year has proven challenging for investors,and accordingly,Conservation International incurred investment losses of$21 million in FY22.Fortunately,the majority of our portfolio is reserved fo

257、r long-term use and,despite these losses,reflects healthy overall investment gains,ensuring that this current cyclical downturn is manageable.EXPENSESWe are pleased to report that we closed FY22 with record expenditures of$212.4 million,a 33 percent increase over last years levels of$159.4 million.T

258、he majority of this growth was driven by our Field Programs Division,which includes our Africa,Americas and Asia-Pacific Divisions,as well as our Center for Oceans.These divisions represent the core of our conservation work,implementing a wide range of programs from our 30 country offices.In FY22,Fi

259、eld Programs expenditures totaled$99.9 million,42 percent over the previous years levels of$70.2 million.Projects that triggered much of this growth include programs to protect and restore large areas of the Amazon;promoting the rights and capacities of Indigenous communities;advising on increasing

260、marine protected areas and expanding sustainable fisheries;and developing mechanisms to generate financial incentives to invest in and protect nature.Working through partners is a cornerstone of our programmatic delivery.This provides us with the agility to secure the appropriate technical skills at

261、 the time needed to achieve results.This also ensures that countries and regions maintain local capacity to steward their resources autonomously.Our Grantmaking Divisions grew by 28 percent from$36.8 million in FY21 to$47 million in FY22,supporting partners across the globe with grants ranging from$

262、2,000 to$13 million.Our Global Programs Division also enjoyed marked growth in FY22.Conservation Internationals Moore Center for Science,the Center for Natural Climate Solutions and the Center for Sustainable Lands and Waters,as well as the Center for Communities&Conservation and the Center for Glob

263、al Policy&Government Affairs provide the thought leadership and the science,tools,policy frameworks and networks to support our work in the field and to advance transformative change on a global scale.Over the past several years,Conservation International has been fortu-nate to secure numerous large

264、,multi-year cross-di-visional grants that are coordinated through our Centers,hence the notable growth in FY22.We strive to spend every dollar entrusted to us efficiently and effectively to maximize our impact.Efficient delivery cannot happen without robust operational support.We modestly increased

265、our investment in supporting services divisions,which include management and operations along with our fundraising division to ensure our growing programs have the resources,tools and informa-tion they need to manage increasingly complex programs.Management and operations increased by 12 percent to$

266、12 million,while Development grew by 35 percent to$17 million in FY22.With the considerable increase in programmatic spending,our overhead rate fell from an already comparatively low rate of 14.6 percent in FY21 to 13.6 percent in FY22.NET ASSETSConservation International closed FY22 with a$1.1 mill

267、ion increase in net assets without donor restrictions,and a$51.6 million increase in net assets with donor restrictions,resulting in total net assets at fiscal year ending June 30,2022,of$433.3 million.This net asset balance is composed largely of funding earmarked for specific program-matic purpose

268、s.The lingering disruption of the pandemic,growing global political tensions and economic uncertainty have distracted leaders from the urgency of addressing climate change and environmental crises.This means we need to work even harder to ensure that future generations will inherit a healthy planet.

286、Creek Ranch.He became an early leader of the Jackson Hole Land Trust and helped preserve thousands of acres in the area.Gil deeply understood and respected the need for conservation action at the national and global levels.In addition to supporting Conservation International throughout his lifetime,

287、Gil served on boards and councils of several other environmental organizations.His vision,influence and unabashed passion for nature will be greatly missed.In the words of his family members,“During his 97 years Gil touched innumerable lives with his wit and intelligence.Generosity and gentleness.De

289、ful for his decision to make a lasting difference for our planet.IN MEMORIAMJEFF GALEIn September,we unexpectedly lost Jeff Gale,a longtime friend to Conservation International and one of the planets staunchest sup-porters.A champion for the dignity of all living things,Jeff believed that we should

290、leave this world better than we found it,not just as a philanthropic endeavor but as a personal mission.“He was determined to save this planet,”said Janie,his wife and a founding member of Conservation Internationals Leadership Council.This manifested in a lifelong passion for planting thousands of

291、trees,often acquired through rescue missions at construction sites.Since their first gift in the 1990s,Jeff and Janies generosity has provided flexibility to respond to urgent needs on the ground.Serving on Conservation Internationals Board of Directors from 2007 until his passing,Jeff brought a ste

292、adfast presence of empath-ic leadership,treating everyone he encountered with respect and genuine interest.A professional photographer based out of his studio in Las Vegas,Jeff emanated those same attributes when capturing his subjects,from toucans and golden lion tamarins to everyday people he enco

293、untered on his travels.On trips with Conservation International,he and Janie explored many corners of the world,from safaris in Tanzania and Kenya to diving with whale sharks in the Cocos Islands.Jeff was also a longtime leader at The Animal Foundation,a prom-inent shelter which never turns away an

294、animal in need.In some ways,this work epitomized his nature:humanitarian,compassionate,uncompromising.We all have limited time to leave the world better than we found it.Jeff made the most of his.Fortunately,his presence within our organization carries on through his wife and children,who have long
