19、RVATION INTERNATIONAL12NOTHING ELSE WILL MATTERWE ARE BEYOND A POINT OF ESOTERIC QUESTIONING.THE VERY FABRIC OF OUR LIFE SYSTEMS IS IMPERILED.ITS NOT JUST THE PHYSICAL MANIFESTATIONS OF A RAPIDLY CHANGING CLIMATE,IT IS ALSO EMOTIONALLY THREATENING,ESPECIALLY FOR YOUNG PEOPLE WHO FEAR WHAT LIES AHEAD

20、.DEAR FRIENDS,Today,that sentiment applies also to the unprecedented global health crisis gripping the planet.As we move past this crisisand we will,though it may not seem so todaythe global community must regroup with a singular focus to change how we value nature both in terms of our core values a

21、nd in terms of our economic values.As we look to the future,we must addressclimate breakdownand our disconnect with the natural worldwith every single fiberofour beings,our brains,our imaginations.If we dont,it will be our greatest regret.And yet,I am tremendously encouraged.After decades working on

22、 the problem,last year at the United Nations Climate Action Summit,I saw children on climate strike,indigenous peoples protesting in the streets,and the realization among the most powerful institutions that there is a rising new majority of voters and consumers.We have reached a new level of intensi

23、ty.Certainly,there are powerful forces yet to overcome.But markets are recognizing the opportunities in transforming energy systems.Financial institutions are recognizing the risk in the status quo.Conservation International is in the unique position of focusing on nature-based parts of the solution

24、.We must redouble our efforts to protect and secure the extraordinary parts of the world that store carbon and shelter wildlifethe same efforts that science shows will greatly improve our chances of averting another pandemic.We must take a dual approach.First,we need to think carefully about how to

25、put the value of nature into economic systems.Natural capital accounting is a tool to quantify the intrinsic value of nature as well as the cost of short-sighted destruction.And sustainable development based on conservation creates value for local communities.Furthermore,we must make certain there i

26、s a shift in moral values.Ensuring the security of the Earth must be a core tenet.This goes beyond our economic and political systems.Its about our place,what we believe and who we are.I discussed last year that indigenous peoples cherish the Earth.Its about a sense of reciprocity,that if we dont ta

27、ke care of the Earth,neither can we prosper.Everything that matters to us,as human beings,is connected to nature.By saving nature,we can save everything else that matters.The work Conservation International did this past year was especially critical.Progress includes a fund to support the South Amer

28、ican-led Leticia Pact,early fire warning systems and restoration projects in the Amazon.Every single success at Conservation International is built on determination,an unwillingness to accept the status quo and trust emerging from solid partnerships.This makes two vital characteristics about Conserv

29、ation International clear.First,its easy to talk about partnerships.But for partnerships to work it requires trust,time and dedication.For more than three decades we have linked arms with an extraordinary diversity of cultures,communities,companies,organizations and nations.We are serious about addr

30、essing the looming climate challenges facing humanity.We are serious about earning the trust of our partners and collectively forging impactful alliances.It is inspiring to look at the Conservation International team.It is deep in experience and impact.And,just as importantly,the diversity of cultur

31、es at Conservation International gives us the rare ability to design solutions that work for different communities in different places across this amazing Earth.It is only through diversity that we will have the open-mindedness required to secure the health of nature for all of humanity.This is our

32、commitment and this is our promise.Thank you.PETER SELIGMANN Chairman of the Board CONSERVATION INTERNATIONAL 15CONSERVATION INTERNATIONAL14NOTHING ELSE WILL MATTERWe will continue innovating in finance.Conservation International Ventures launched first-round investments for growth-stage enterprises

33、 that benefit the communities most directly connected to nature.We will continue to develop and market high quality forest carbon projects,and thanks to partners such as Apple,we are investing in new large-scale restoration projects.In the year ahead,Conservation International,in partnership with ot

34、hers,is setting its sights on protecting an astonishing 18 million square kilometers (7 million square miles)of sea.To that end,we are in the process of launching a new fundthe largest private fund of its kindto accelerate ocean conservation at a scale the world has never before seen.This past year,

35、a personal milestone:My wife and I welcomed a daughter into the world.Having a child is an expression of unmitigated hope.I am hopeful that this pivotal moment we are all struggling through will also be a grand unifying moment for humanity.Im hopeful the natural world will inspire her as it has alwa

36、ys inspired us.Im hopeful we will leave her,and all of the worlds children,a livable,thriving planeta planet we love and value.With gratitude,DR.M.SANJAYAN Chief Executive Officer WE ARE IN THE MIDST OF A CRISIS THAT IS THE GREATEST HUMANITY HAS EVER FACED.THE AMAZON IS BURNING.THE ARCTIC IS MELTING

37、.AND IN A TIME WHEN OUR ASSAULT ON NATURE HAS GIVEN RISE TO DEADLY ZOONOTIC DISEASES,ONE HAS BECOME A CATASTROPHIC PANDEMIC.BUT THE YOUNG ARE RAISING THEIR VOICES FULL OF DETERMINATION,RESOLVE AND RAGE.LISTEN TO THEM:IF WE DO NOT TAKE CARE OF OUR PLANET,NOTHING ELSE WILL REALLY MATTER.DEAR FRIENDS,G

38、EORGINA GOODWINIt is too late for quick wins and easy solutions.But we at Conservation International are not about to slow downwe are dedicated to realizing the answers available in nature.Our promise to you is simple:We will join forces with others to do all we can in our power,building on our comp

39、etitive advantage,true to our values and mission,to jolt our planet onto a path that ensures that nature thrives and thus we thrive.We are protecting and restoring natureforests,mangroves,peatlands,grasslandsto tackle the climate crisis.We are massively increasing ocean conservation.We are demonstra

40、ting scalable models of sustainability in biologically critical land and seascapes.And all our work is guided by science and fueled by innovative finance.In response to the crisis in the Amazon,Conservation International launched a fund to support a multi-country forest protection pact led by the Co

41、lombian government.We worked closely with the Bolivian government to create the Bajo Madidi Municipal Conservation and Management Area,which permanently protects nearly 1.5 million hectares(3.7 million acres)of pristine forest,wetlands and savannas.We worked in the Brazilian Amazon to create jobs fo

42、r rural and indigenous communities restoring degraded forests.Were connecting cutting-edge technology with remote local communities to identify fires and real-time alerts.And were helping indigenous leaders secure more beneficialand less environmentally damagingagreements between their peoples and e

43、xternal interests,for the benefit of all.We continue to support groundbreaking policy.The West Papua Conservation Province of Indonesia offers a new global standard for valuing natural capital and sustainable development.And the Tropical Forest Standard in California is a pioneering market mechanism

44、 that unlocks significant capital and reinforces the message that forests are more valuable alive than dead.17CONSERVATION INTERNATIONAL16NOTHING ELSE WILL MATTERSTARTING WITH OUR FIRST PROJECT IN BOLIVIA MORE THAN 30 YEARS AGO,CONSERVATION INTERNATIONAL HAS HELPED SUPPORT 1,200 PROTECTED AREAS ACRO

73、 FOUGHT FOR TWO MASSIVE WINS IN THE POLICY ARENA.In January 2019,U.S.President Donald Trump signed into law the Tropical Forest Conservation Act,a reauthorization of a landmark conservation law that lapsed in 2014.For months prior,Conservation International painstakingly engaged with U.S.lawmakers t

74、o get the bill passed and put before the president.The act uses debt-for-nature swaps,which enable countries to trade their debt to the U.S.for funds to protect nature in their own countryan idea that Conservation International pioneered.The act has already saved more than 27.5 million hectares(68 m

75、illion acres)of tropical forest,the equivalent of taking about 12 million cars off the road for one year.And in September 2019,the state of California app-roved the Tropical Forest Standarda blueprint for allowing tropical forest protection initiatives to be included in the states cap-and-trade syst

83、not“paper parks”areas that are protected in name only.Now,the South American country has millions of reasons for hope for the health of its rich waters.In 2019,Conservation International announced the Ecuador Azul fund,a$6 million endowment fund supporting the conservation,management and long-term s

84、ustainability of Ecuadors marine protected areas(MPAs).Ecuador Azul will initially fund five MPAs span-ning nearly 2,000 square kilometers(about 772 square miles)of diverse marine and coastal ecosystems,containing an enormous range of wildlife,from the worlds largest cluster of manta rays to one of

85、the most extensive mangrove areas along the Pacific coast.Since 2005,Conservation International has helped the country create seven marine pro-tected areas,including four of the five that will initially receive resources from Ecuador Azul.The long-term goal:a solid financial mechanism to guarantee t
