Conservation Optimism supports, empowers and enables conservationists around the globe by sharing hope and building capacity and community.
We believe that a healthy, (bio)diverse and resilient world is achievable. We understand that the challenge of conservation in the 21st century is great and complex, but we believe that challenge can be met.
We understand that the language of crisis and emergency has a role in inspiring action, but, for those wanting to act, and for those already actively engaged, working constantly in such a context can be constraining and often overwhelming. We recognise the power of hope as a potent enabling force, and sometimes as a necessary guard against anxiety and despair.
We are an international team working with a worldwide community of individuals and organisations to inspire and enable a global effort – towards a sustainable future in which everyone can thrive.
Conservation Optimism became an independent charity in 2022. We are working hard to become self-sustaining. Please support our work to empower the global conservation community and mission.
