Every single day, forests areas are cut, slashed and burned , equal in size to 75,000 football fields. Food consumption is expected to double by 2050, yet the pollinators are dying. Temperatures are rising, coral reefs are dying, a third of the world’s fisheries are threatened and hundreds of millions of people lack clean water to drink. With increasing pollution all around the world and increasing concerns over global warming, the world is gradually becoming aware of the fact that nature should be conserved and proper sustainable resources should be used for the increasing needs of humans.

Conservation International, (CI) now in its 3rd decade, works towards building awareness for environmental concerns with the goal of ensuring a “healthy, productive planet for everyone.”

CI does this through collaborative efforts, partnerships and scientific field work, to establish a foundation to find global solutions, and has launched various programs to reach out to the world effectively. Their motto is that “the world needs nature to thrive” and nobody would disagree with this fact. In every breath, in every meal and in pretty much everything about human life, nature is always there. It is impossible to survive without Nature and thus it is really important to conserve and use its resources responsibly.

Conservation International is much more than just an entity working towards awareness of environmental hazards, they also devise methods to do so. With new effective inventions and collaborative work, they have truly inspired many organizations and governments to take care of our Mother Nature.

With a huge amount of experience in their company portfolio and positive results in over 25 countries around the world, Conservation International and its team are the visionaries which this planet needs for ensuring responsible use of resources. Their goals are simple: Protect our natural wealth ,Foster effective governance, and Promote sustainable production.

In an effort to reach a large number of people rather effectively and in an interesting and engaging way, CI created their current powerful campaign entitled NATURE IS SPEAKING. With the help of environmentally aware actors like Penelope Cruz, Ian Somerhalder, Kevin Spacey, Julia Roberts and many more, they have made short films describing how the world needs each and every aspect of nature. The help of these advocates and their concern over the environmental issues is commendable.
