Desc	General update on program service accomplishments and sampling of our accomplishments over the past year: We launched NatureVest to source low-cost "impact capital" in order to take our conservation projects to a larger scale. Already, results can be seen in Kenya, where our Livestock to Markets project is helping communities get a better price for their cattle while managing grazing lands that also support wildlife. And our Science for Nature and People (SNAP) partnership launched 12 multidisciplinary working groups to deliver rapid scientific analysis of pressing conservation issues, such as guiding responsible development in the western Amazon and pin pointing how natural habitats can protect coastal communities from the impacts of big storms. Kenyan Conservancies Grow: With seven new conservancies up and running, efforts of the Northern Rangelands Trust and the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, Nature Conservancy partners in Kenya, now reach more than 7 million acres of protected communal lands. Community conservancies work to protect their lands for wildlife and their traditional ways of life, receiving financial and other incentives to and improve access to education and health care. The Conservancy is providing scientific and management training and creative investment strategies for the NRT community conservancies. Colombia Park Times Two: Conservancy support was instrumental in nearly doubling the size of Colombia's Chiribiquete National Park, considered a global haven for plant and animal diversity. The 3.7 million-acre expansion makes the park three times the size of Yellowstone National Park in the United States. Great Lakes Island Secured: St. Martin Island, one of the larger islands in the Grand Traverse Island chainin Lake Michigan, was protected through the generosity of the Fred Luber family of Milwaukee. The Conservancy's Wisconsin and Michigan programs worked with the Luber family to acquire this critical stopover for birds that migrate through the Great Lakes each spring. More than 100 species of birds like the Blackburnian warbler, as well as migrating bats, butterflies and dragonflies, have been documented using the almost entirely forested island in recent years. The Conservancy plans to eventually transfer the land to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to add to the multi island Green Bay National Wildlife Refuge. Acquisition of high-value conservation lands, including islands, is just one of a growing set of strategies the Conservancy is employing to ensure the future health of the Great Lakes region and the life it supports. Caribbean Expansion: On its southern peninsula and northern coast, Haiti has established its first marine protected areas (MPAs), encompassing a total of 402,881 acres, using Conservancy assessments and mapping. Conservancy scientists are now assisting the Caribbean nation in managing its new MPAs, employing drones to help map and monitor the most important coastal sites. The Conservancy is also training the staff of Cuba's National Center for Protected Areas in such subjects as geographic information systems and satellite remote sensing to support the expansion of protected areas across Cuba. Cuba's 1,000 square miles of coral reefs comprise nearly a quarter of all reefs in the insular Caribbean. Gulf Coast Land & Water: Powderhorn Ranch, a 17,351-acre mosaic of dense live oak forests, coastal prairies, salt marshes and wetlands, was secured by a partnership between the Conservancy, The Conservation Fund and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation. The ranch's 11 miles of tidal bay front protect vitally important sea grass beds and mollusk reefs. The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation funded a significant portion of this project using fines from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Powderhorn is slated to become a state park with ownership turned over to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Nearby, Half Moon Reef, a once-massive but now decimated 100-year-old oyster colony in Matagorda Bay, is being restored by the Conservancy. The 57-acre reconstruction includes niches, caves and passageways that attract not only oysters but also a variety of fish, shellfish and other sea life. It is one of many coordinated reef restoration projects being undertaken across the Gulf of Mexico from Texas to the Florida Keys. Massive Outback Action: Four new Indigenous Protected Areas, totaling an astounding 10.3 million acres (about the size of Switzerland), were established in Western Australia's Kimberley region with help from The Nature Conservancy. The Conservancy has invested nearly $1 million of strategic financing toward developing plans that will see this land managed to international standards, with Traditional Owners leading the way in conserving their own country. First Pacific Easement: The first conservation easement outside the Americas is protecting the world's last forest of rare ka trees (Terminalia carolinensis) in wetlands on the island of Kosrae in the Federated States of Micronesia. Local families who own the land and the Conservancy's Micronesia program sought expertise from the Conservancy's California and North Carolina programs, opting to use funds from the transaction to create an endowment that will ensure the forest's long-term conservation management. This pioneer project, involving many local and international partners, with funding from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation and the U.S. Forest Service, should help spread the protection technique throughout the Pacific and become another tool in furthering ridges-to-reefs conservation efforts in island nations around the world. Technology Aids Birds: Using satellite images and data crowd-sourced from eBird.org, Nature Conservancy scientists mapped when and where migratory birds, including sand hill cranes, need habitat in California's Central Valley. A Conservancy team, including an economist, then implemented a first-of-its-kind auction to rent and flood farm fields at the exact time and location needed by the birds. The pilot was a success, with more than 40 participating farms creating 10,000 additional acres of wetland habitat at a critical time for migratory birds. The program will be expanded next year. Penobscot Restoration: More than a decade in the making, restoration of Maine's Penobscot River is an unprecedented and innovative effort that has removed two dams and is building a state-of-the-art fish bypass around a third, all while making hydropower elsewhere on the river more efficient. As a result, more than a thousand miles of habitat along the Penobscot and its tributaries are being reopened for sea-run fish, with tremendous benefits to biological and human communities along the river. The Nature Conservancy is an active member of the Penobscot River Restoration Trust, taking a leading role on the science team and working to raise public and private funds to acquire and remove the dams. Researchers and conservationists consider this project a model for other river restoration efforts around the world. Resilient Forests: To create a more resilient forest for Minnesota's future, the Conservancy is working with partners to plant 109,000 native trees on federal, state and county lands. Ecological models show that the selected species will thrive under warmer, drier conditions. The project should help inform the efforts of forestland owners and managers in comparable boreal forests in the Great Lakes region and beyond. Alaska Restorations: Breeding tufted puffins and many other bird species are winging their way back to Hawadax Island in Alaska's Aleutian archipelago after an eradication of invasive rats that had made the island uninhabitable for many native species. Once called Rat Island, Hawadax is coming back to life thanks to a successful conservation intervention championed by the Conservancy with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Island Conservation, prompting the native Aleutian-Pribilof Islands Association to rename the island. In the Tongass National Forest, the Conservancy is working with the U.S. Forest Service and others to restore salmon streams by recreating pools and eddies in damaged rivers so that young fish can grow big and avoid predators before migrating to the sea. Adirondack Conversion: Following the Conservancy's milestone acquisition of 161,000 acres of former Finch, Pruyn & Co. lands, more than half of these forests continue to be managed for sustainable timber harvest. To date, 36,485 acres have been transferred to the Adirondack Park's Forest Preserve and opened for public recreation. The Conservancy committed $500,000 in Adirondack Park Upper Hudson Recreation Hub grants to encourage local communities to take advantage of new tourism and recreational economic opportunities.

Explanation	The lobbying work of The Nature Conservancy advances the tax exempt purpose of the organization focusing on conservation of land and water. The Nature Conservancy devoted .52% of its exempt purpose expenditures to attempting to influence legislation in its 2013 tax year. The Conservancy continued to advocate for strong policies and funding for critical natural habitat protection and restoration at U.S. federal and state governments level. Legislation like the U.S. Federal Land and Water Conservation Fund, conservation programs protecting grasslands, environmentally sustainable working lands, and forests in the U.S. Farm Bill, and National Fish Habitat Conservation Act were key to the advocacy agenda; and sustaining critical agencies like Fish and Wildlife Service, Forest Service, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management is a vital objective for long term conservation. Preservation or improvement of state trusts and similar long-term funding mechanisms was a priority, such as the Kentucky Heritage Land Conservation Fund, Clean Ohio Fund, New Hampshire Land and Community Heritage Program, Florida Forever and Rural and Family Lands, Delaware Open Space and Farmland Preservation Programs, Iowa Natural Resources and Outdoor Recreation Trust Fund North Carolina Clean Water Management Trust Fund, and Vermont Housing and Conservation Trust Fund. New efforts were advanced to secured public funding for conservation like Proposition 6 in Texas, a ballot measure passed that provided $2 billion in funding for water projects in the state; Alabama statewide water policy; Georgia legislation under consideration to form a legacy fund for dedicated land and water conservation funding; and supporting campaigns petitioning for ballot measures in Florida and North Dakota. Efforts continued to advance shoreline protections with policy for conservation and people in places like New York, Maryland, and Florida. Forest and fire management policy was advanced in places like Idaho, Arizona, Colorado, Washington and Kansas. Conservation easements were a focus at the U.S. federal level with the renewal of the federal tax incentive for donations of conservation easements; some states' policy efforts were focused on conservation easements like Kansas and South Carolina. The Conservancy continued to advocate for protection of places like Mackinaw River, Youghiogheny River, Yampa River, Conte Wildlife Refuge, the Loess Hills, Gulf of Maine, Chesapeake Bay, North Fork watershed, Gulf of Mexico, and the Paint Rock Wildlife Refuge. Protecting activities like fishing in Rockwood, Maine, sustainable agriculture in Iowa, working lands in Oregon and sustainable oyster harvesting in Virginia are also part of the Conservancy's conservation efforts. Recovery and health of specific species, like the sage grouse, salmon, brook trout, and the black-footed ferret, are part of larger conservation habitat protection efforts. Strengthening the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative was critical at the state level; legislation was considered to improve the ten-state cap and trade program to reduce carbon pollution. Ocean acidification as a result of human activity is a growing concern for marine life and legislation addressing it was considered in states like Maine, New Hampshire, and Maryland. Energy siting and production has a major impact on conservation so efforts included supporting conservation provisions in the Public Lands Renewable Energy Development Act and various state policies like Ohio, Wisconsin and Maryland. Agriculture practices that use less water and reduce fertilizer runoff were important aspects of legislation. The Nature Conservancy does a small amount of its lobbying in countries such as Canada and Australia where conservation experiences are shared to adopt sustainable land and water use policy with long term funding methods for protection, restoration and management of nature's resources. Some volunteers, but no more 500 hours, were used by the Conservancy to influence legislation to protect existing government conservation programs and pursue opportunities for increased protections.

Schedule D, Part II, Line 5	The Nature Conservancy's written policy regarding the periodic monitoring, inspection, violations, and enforcement of the conservation easements it holds is governed by our Standard Operating Procedure, Conservation Easements and Deed Restrictions. Excerpts from the procedure regarding frequency and IRS Reporting follow. A. Monitoring Frequency: Except as provided in Part II, Section III.A herein, all Conservation Interests held by the BU will be monitored at least once each calendar year (annually). B. Information Gathered for IRS Reporting Purposes: The IRS requires that the tax returns of non-profits include a range of information on the conservation easements it holds, or did hold at any time during the reporting tax year ("IRS-Reportable" easements). These requirements include a report of total staff hours and a list of expenses associated with monitoring and enforcing those easements. They also include a number of other questions, some of which are answered by required fields in the monitoring reports, and some of which are answered from Conservation Land System ("CLS") records. Note that that the IRS does not require reporting regarding monitoring of deed restrictions. Therefore monitoring of deed restrictions should not be considered to be "IRS-Reportable." 1. IRS-Reportable easements are those which TNC currently holds or did hold during the current tax reporting year. Since TNC tax reporting is on the fiscal year and easement monitoring is on the calendar year, BUs must consult with their CLS staffer to determine when an easement that has been transferred to another organization by TNC ceases to be "IRS-Reportable." 2. Time and Expense Reporting related to easements is required by the IRS. For every IRS-Reportable easement all staff hours spent on "easement monitoring and enforcement" must be appropriately coded in bi-weekly time reports. Further, any funds spent on related costs, including travel expenses, must also be appropriately coded in the General Ledger. A dedicated sub-1 code (-8888) has been established for this purpose. Each BU must ensure that the budget centers utilized by members of each Monitoring Team (as defined below) have that sub-1 code established and available, and that it is utilized. This important information must be captured so that it can be included in our annual tax filing. With respect to Enforcement excerpts from the Standard Operating procedure follow. The holder of a conservation easement ("Easement") or a deed restriction ("Restriction") (collectively the "Conservation Interests") has a responsibility to enforce the terms of the Conservation Interest in perpetuity. The integrity of a Conservation Interest should never be compromised to avoid litigation. The success the Conservancy has in defending its Conservation Interests has a profound impact on both our organizational reputation and the effectiveness of easements generally. A well-articulated enforcement standard operating procedure and consistent application will help to ensure the ongoing effectiveness of the Conservancy's easement program. Prompt compliance with this procedure is required to ensure that the conservation purposes and values reflected in the Easement or Restriction are not lost through the passage of time.
Schedule D, Part II, Line 9	The Conservancy records land and land interests at cost if purchased or at fair value at the date of acquisition, if all or part of the land was received as a donation. Fair value is generally determined by appraisal at the time of acquisition and is not subsequently adjusted. Upon sale or gift, the book value of the land or land interest is reported as a program expense and the related proceeds, if any, are reported as revenue in the consolidated statement of activities. Conservation land is real property with significant ecological value. These properties are either managed in an effort to protect the natural biological diversity of the property, or transferred to other organizations who will manage the lands in a similar fashion. Conservation easements are comprised of listed rights and/or restrictions over the owned property that are conveyed by a property owner to the Conservancy, almost always in perpetuity, in order to protect the owned property as a significant natural area, as defined in federal tax regulations. These intangible assets may be sold or transferred to others so long as the assignee agrees to carry out, in perpetuity, the conservation purposes intended by the original grantor. Conservation easements, by their very nature, do not generate material amounts of cash inflow annually.
Schedule D, Part V, Line 4	The Endowment includes approximately 770 individual endowment funds. The Endowment provides stable financial support to a wide variety of programs and activities in perpetuity, playing a critical role in enabling the Conservancy to achieve its mission. Programs supported by the Endowment include restoring, monitoring, and managing natural areas owned by the Conservancy and others, as well as, many other activities and actions vital to the preservation of natural diversity. The Endowment includes both donor-restricted endowment funds and funds designated by the Board of Directors (Board) to function as endowments. Net assets associated with endowment funds, including Board-designated endowment funds, are classified and reported based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions.
Schedule D, Part X, Line 2	The Conservancy has been granted an exemption from Federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Internal Revenue Service has classified the Conservancy as other than a private foundation. The Conservancy pays a nominal amount of tax relating to several unrelated business income activities, primarily rental income from debt-financed property. The Conservancy takes no tax positions that it considers to be uncertain.

Form And Line Reference	Schedule F, Part I, Line 2	FormAndLineReferenceDesc
Explanation	The Nature Conservancy's procedure for monitoring grants outside the United States is governed by the Government Grants, Cooperative Agreements, Contracts and Other Agreements Negotiation and Administration Standard Operating Procedure which is excerpted as follows: All staff responsible for government grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and other agreements will negotiate and administer such awards in an efficient and effective manner. The Conservancy has a Grants Service Network to ensure that this occurs, including assuring compliance with all applicable funder statutes and regulations. The attached table assigns performance responsibilities to the key positions involved in the negotiation and administration of the following types of agreements: 1. agreements to the Conservancy from United States federal, state and local government agencies, multilateral agencies, and other national and local governments; and 2. the Conservancy's grants of funds to other entities, including those funded by a government agency, multilateral organization, other non-profit organization, private foundation, or private donor. Conservancy grants to other entities are also subject to the "Grants by the Nature Conservancy to Grantees" Standard Operating Procedure. In order to effectively manage these agreements and to ensure accountability, the Conservancy employs a team approach during all stages of the process, from pre-proposal discussions with potential funding agencies through final closeout of specific agreements. Working as a team assures that the Conservancy successfully secures government funding for conservation projects and carries out these projects in compliance with both external and internal requirements, negotiating the best possible agreements and ensuring the projects are completed on time and within budget. Essential team members are a Project Manager, a Grants Specialist, and an Attorney. As appropriate, team members at any stage of the process should solicit input from staff in their respective Business Units, such as finance, philanthropy, external affairs or other conservation staff. Purpose: To ensure compliance with government laws and regulations and to ensure the efficient and effective management of funds provided by U.S. federal, state and local governments, other national and local governments, and multilateral sources by the Conservancy, as well as Conservancy funds provided to other entities.

Explanation	The Nature Conservancy's procedure for monitoring grants within the United States is governed by the Government Grants, Cooperative Agreements, Contracts and Other Agreements Negotiation and Administration Standard Operating Procedure which is excerpted as follows: All staff responsible for government grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and other agreements will negotiate and administer such awards in an efficient and effective manner. The Conservancy has a Grants Service Network to ensure that this occurs, including assuring compliance with all applicable funder statutes and regulations. The attached table assigns performance responsibilities to the key positions involved in the negotiation and administration of the following types of agreements: 1. agreements to the Conservancy from United States federal, state and local government agencies, multilateral agencies, and other national and local governments; and 2. the Conservancy's grants of funds to other entities, including those funded by a government agency, multilateral organization, other non-profit organization, private foundation, or private donor. Conservancy grants to other entities are also subject to the "Grants by the Nature Conservancy to Grantees" Standard Operating Procedure. In order to effectively manage these agreements and to ensure accountability, the Conservancy employs a team approach during all stages of the process, from pre-proposal discussions with potential funding agencies through final closeout of specific agreements. Working as a team assures that the Conservancy successfully secures government funding for conservation projects and carries out these projects in compliance with both external and internal requirements, negotiating the best possible agreements and ensuring the projects are completed on time and within budget. Essential team members are a Project Manager, a Grants Specialist, and an Attorney. As appropriate, team members at any stage of the process should solicit input from staff in their respective Business Units, such as finance, philanthropy, external affairs or other conservation staff.

Form 990, Part III (Cont. 1)	Over the past 43 years, the Conservancy has helped add 152,732 acres to the state forest preserve within the 6 million acre Adirondack Park, a unique mixture of public and private lands, and has protected more than twice that acreage as sustainable working forests. Water Fund Success. Native birds returned to the restored Atlantic Forest west of Rio de Janeiro for the first time since the establishment of the Guandu Water Producer Project just six years ago. Water funds are an innovative strategy championed by The Nature Conservancy and partners to enable urban water users to support conservation activities, like reforestation, in watersheds that hold and purify their fresh water. Here, the Conservancy partnered with Instituto Terra to protect Rio's water supply by investing in the forests that help generate the water itself. The Conservancy is now involved in the establishment of water funds at more than a dozen locations globally, recently completing a feasibility assessment with brewer SABMiller looking at the potential of water funds for 25 cities in Sub Saharan Africa. Mapping Water. The Conservancy completed mapping of water sources for 500 global cities to develop a more accurate assessment of urban water risks and the role of nature in providing clean water and mitigating risks. This first of its kind assessment, in terms of scale and detail, will serve as a roadmap for the Conservancy and other organizations, including 100 Resilient Cities, Starwood and Ecolab. China Carp Collaboration. In collaboration with The Nature Conservancy and others, operators of China's Three Gorges Dam the world's largest and one of its most controversial dams began to alter the amount of water flowing through the giant structure. The release of large amounts of water is intended to mimic the Yangtze's flood pulse, which promotes carp spawning, and marks the fourth straight year that dam operators modified water releases to better mimic natural cycles. Carp occupy an exalted position in the culture and cuisine of China, and carp numbers had declined rapidly following operation of the dam affecting protein sources and livelihoods for people living downstream. With the construction of hydropower dams on the rise in China, the Conservancy is working with the Chinese government, major hydropower companies and nonprofit organizations to develop sustainable alternatives to the design and operation of dams planned for the Yangtze. The Colorado Flows. Using an innovative water banking model and a trust to acquire water rights, The Nature Conservancy joined with bi national partners to ensure that the Colorado River delta received dedicated water flows for the first time in nearly half a century. Due to over allocation of the Colorado River for cities, agriculture and other uses in the United States and Mexico, the river no longer reaches the Gulf of California harming fish and shrimp habitat and has stopped regularly flowing through its delta, a critical habitat for resident and migratory bird species. The initial pulse release of water was a demonstration to show the potential for restoring the habitat supporting this rich natural diversity with potential benefits to surrounding communities. Saving Elephants. To address the worst ivory poaching crisis in history and the collateral damage to entire ecosystems and local people The Nature Conservancy has ramped up existing elephant conservation efforts into an African Elephant Initiative. The initiative aims to increase security forces on the ground and to reduce demand by leveraging the Conservancy's board of trustees in China. A new report proves that poaching rates are lower in community led conservancies, which the Conservancy is helping to create. In addition, the Conservancy is providing market based incentives for wildlife conservation and, in China, board members signed an anti ivory pledge to erode the prestige of ivory collecting and to mobilize other top private sector leaders and cultural influencers. Generating Innovation. Science for Nature and People, SNAP, brings together scientists, policymakers and practitioners to create and implement real world solutions to some of the world's biggest challenges involving nature and human wellbeing. SNAP a collaboration cofounded by the Conservancy has 12 working groups investigating topics such as urban water security, the impact of hydraulic fracturing on water quality, the sustainable management of fish stocks, and the feeding of 9 billion people. Solutions based in new scientific analysis emanating from these working groups eventually will be implemented in places around the world, from South America's Pacific fisheries to vulnerable coastal regions of North America and agricultural lands of Africa. Toward Sustainable Fishing. To supply and encourage consumer demand for sustainably caught fish, The Nature Conservancy implemented a traceability pilot project with artisanal fishing unions in southern Chile to determine the exact location, amount and weight of fish and shellfish they catch. The retailer and consumer may then access the data through a QR code that directs them to a website with the confirming information. In Indonesia, the Conservancy is working with two seafood companies with global reach to enhance their seafood traceability and collect data on the condition of fish stocks in order to adapt practices to sustainable levels. A Strong Farm Bill. Five years of hard work across Conservancy state programs to inform legislation and secure votes have produced one of the strongest U.S. farm bills ever for conservation and forestry. The bill provides nearly $6 billion per year for 10 years to protect wetlands and native grasslands, enhance wildlife habitat, support clean air and water, ensure productive soils, and help meet growing domestic and international demand for food and fiber in an increasingly sustainable manner. Easing Amazon Deforestation. The municipality of Sao Felix do Xingu has the largest cattle herd in Brazil, at approximately 2 million head, with one of the highest historical rates of deforestation in the Amazon region. To ease deforestation, restore degraded areas and establish a responsible integrated supply chain for beef, the Conservancy is working with farming unions; livestock and retail companies, like Marfrig and Walmart; and with the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. Eighteen pilot projects have been implemented to double productivity toward a sustainable intensification of livestock farming on 116,000 acres. The goal is to extend the most efficient practices to at least another 150 farms within two years. Moreover, the forest cover of 226 farms across 1.4 million acres will be monitored to ensure that land clearing does not expand. These experiences will be disseminated through the Brazilian Roundtable on Sustainable Livestock and the Green Municipalities Program. Recreating Floodplains. The Conservancy has joined with public and private partners to launch Floodplains by Design, an innovative effort along the major rivers that flow into Washington State's Puget Sound. Over the coming 20 years, the effort will reengage more natural floodplains throughout the state that have been cut off from rivers because of residential, agricultural and industrial development and earlier efforts to control floods. Taxpayers have paid more than $1.4 billion in flood damage in the area since 1990. The large scale effort seeks to restore salmon populations, reduce flood hazards, increase agricultural viability, improve water quality and enhance outdoor recreation. Landmark Mitigation Order. Energy development has many positives, but the pace of change compels The Nature Conservancy to protect implicated lands and waters. The Conservancy was instrumental in securing a secretarial order on mitigation from Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell an order that shifts the U.S. Department of the Interior and its agencies toward simultaneous landscape scale planning for energy and conservation. This order applies directly to 247 million acres of public lands and potentially to millions of acres of private lands across the United States, where energy development projects must avoid, minimize and offset impacts on habitats and species.
Form 990, Part III (Cont. 2)	. Avoiding Gas Impact. The Nature Conservancy's Central Appalachians Program is partnering with research organizations and gas companies to create a unique GIS based tool that helps shale gas operators avoid and minimize habitat impacts of well pads, roads, pipelines and other infrastructure. The tool will help gas operators generate various infrastructure configurations and evaluate their predicted habitat impacts and financial costs, while still recovering the full gas resource and accounting for other constraints. Given that the habitat impacts are not fully addressed by any state or federal regulatory frameworks in the Central Appalachians region, this tool should help reduce overall environmental impact from shale gas development through voluntary industry actions. Investing in Nature. With founding sponsorship from JPMorgan Chase and Co., The Nature Conservancy launched NatureVest to enhance the way we protect natural capital the soil, clean air and water, and other valuable resources that nature provides. NatureVest, a Global Conservation Initiatives business unit, will do this by capitalizing on the growing impact investment sector and by fostering ways to advance investment in conservation. As part of that effort, NatureVest will convene investors, develop and execute innovative financial transactions and continue to build an investment pipeline across multiple sectors, including agriculture, fisheries and environmental markets. This endeavor builds on the Conservancy's impact capital strategy, launched in 2010 with inaugural support from the Robertson Foundation that continues, and a global deal pipeline built with subsequent support from the Grantham Foundation for the Protection of the Environment. State Funding Wins. The Conservancy remains active in guiding ballot measures and state lobbying campaigns to dedicate public funding to conservation. The Conservancy in Texas helped pass Proposition 6, a ballot measure that will dedicate $2 billion to statewide water conservation. The Massachusetts chapter was instrumental in securing a $2.2 billion environmental bond from the state legislature that will be dedicated to land, water and climate resiliency. Six other state chapters conducted signature gathering and lobbying in order to get statewide conservation funding measures on the ballot. If approved, they will generate a record $20 billion for land and water conservation funding over the next 25 years. Wool on the Runway. International fashion designer Stella McCartney is among the first to raise the global profile of sustainable wool from Patagonia by incorporating it into her fall designs and runway show. After last year's successful partnership with Patagonia Inc. and Ovis XXI ranchers in Argentina to raise sheep in a manner that helps restore grasslands in Patagonia, Conservancy efforts have expanded to build global markets for the high quality, sustainable wool. Thus far, 57 ranches are participating in the partnership, covering 3.2 million acres of grasslands. A European Base. The Nature Conservancy formally established a Europe Regional Program with offices in London and Berlin focused on strengthening policy, engaging leading companies to advance sustainable development, encouraging private philanthropy, and developing impact investing strategies. Initial efforts in Europe previously directed more than $50 million from European agencies to Conservancy initiatives in the Coral Triangle, the Caribbean and Africa to reduce tropical deforestation and unsustainable trade in forest products. Hong Kong Cares. The Nature Conservancy's Hong Kong office has launched a Conservation Champions membership program to build support among the more than 7 million people who call Hong Kong home. The program seeks to raise awareness about the global challenges that face the natural world and how they affect life in Hong Kong. The program elicits ongoing support through canvassing and special events. Conservancy public service advertisements are running in Hong Kong's Times Square, Hong Kong International Airport and 15 shopping malls throughout the city. Avoiding Gas Impact. The Nature Conservancy's Central Appalachians Program is partnering with research organizations and gas companies to create a unique GIS-based tool that helps shale gas operators avoid and minimize habitat impacts of well pads, roads, pipelines and other infrastructure. The tool will help gas operators generate various infrastructure configurations and evaluate their predicted habitat impacts and financial costs, while still recovering the full gas resource and accounting for other constraints.

Six other state chapters conducted signature gathering and lobbying in order to get statewide conservation funding measures on the ballot. If approved, they will generate a record $20 billion for land and water conservation funding over the next 25 years.
Form 990, Part III (Cont. 3)	Wool on the Runway. International fashion designer Stella McCartney is among the first to raise the global profile of sustainable wool from Patagonia by incorporating it into her fall designs and runway show. After last year's successful partnership with Patagonia Inc. and Ovis XXI ranchers in Argentina to raise sheep in a manner that helps restore grasslands in Patagonia, Conservancy efforts have expanded to build global markets for the high quality, sustainable wool. Thus far, 57 ranches are participating in the partnership, covering 3.2 million acres of grasslands. A European Base. The Nature Conservancy formally established a Europe Regional Program with offices in London and Berlin focused on strengthening policy, engaging leading companies to advance sustainable development, encouraging private philanthropy, and developing impact investing strategies. Initial efforts in Europe previously directed more than $50 million from European agencies to Conservancy initiatives in the Coral Triangle, the Caribbean and Africa to reduce tropical deforestation and unsustainable trade in forest products. Hong Kong Cares.The Nature Conservancy's Hong Kong office has launched a Conservation Champions membership program to build support among the more than 7 million people who call Hong Kong home. The program seeks to raise awareness about the global challenges that face the natural world and how they affect life in Hong Kong. The program elicits ongoing support through canvassing and special events. Conservancy public service advertisements are running in Hong Kong's Times Square, Hong Kong International Airport and 15 shopping malls throughout the city. Water on the Web. The Conservancy launched Liquid Courage, an interactive digital platform to activate the next generation of conservationists and to raise awareness about the water challenges we face and the practical solutions we can enact for a more sustainable future. The site seeks to engage U.S. based urban millennials, roughly people aged 18 to 30, in global and local water issues. In its first month, the site and accompanying social media campaign reached a potential audience of 4.2 million people and received more than 2,800 social media mentions. Millennials represent 130 million people in the United States. Natural Wonder. Connect With Nature launched as an annual campaign designed to get people involved in helping nature and help them rediscover its magic. More than 133 volunteer and community outreach events were held in 39 states during the initial April campaign. Among them was "Roots and Routes to Grow. A Community Tree Planting Day" in Chicago Park District's Burnham Wildlife Corridor. The event engaged more than 700 volunteers from the historic Bronzeville and Pilsen neighborhoods in an urban conservation and reforestation project right in their own backyard. Parents around the world are concerned about their children's diminishing involvement with nature; that's the key take-away from a landmark survey released by the Conservancy's Nature Rocks program, supported by the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund. This is the first global survey of parents in the United States, Brazil, China, France and Hong Kong to capture how much time kids spend outside and parents' perspectives on the importance of nature in their children's lives. Nature Rocks seeks to inspire and empower families to connect with nature and build the next generation of conservation supporters. More than half of "Nature Rocks" participants say that their family time in nature has increased as a result. Youth Engagement. LEAF, Leaders in Environmental Action for the Future, celebrated its 20th year of providing paid summer internships for some 700 high school students in nature preserves in 27 U.S. states. The Conservancy program has had a tremendous impact on urban youth, opening their eyes to career possibilities and building self-confidence, work skills and conservation literacy. Meanwhile, Nature Works Everywhere, the Conservancy's effort to incorporate its science and projects into middle school curricula, reached nearly a million students last year in the United States. A companion program was also launched to use gardens as outdoor classrooms to teach conservation science. Piloted in Washington, D.C., the program will establish 83 gardens in the nation's capital, Baltimore, Atlanta, Los Angeles, New York and Philadelphia by the end of this school year. Carbon Progress. Efforts to protect tropical forests and combat climate change took a significant step forward when the World Bank's Forest Carbon Partnership Facility, in which The Nature Conservancy is a founding investor, agreed on rules for financing large scale investments in tropical forest conservation and restoration. This action will enable the FCPF to begin the process of funding pilot forest protection projects in developing countries. Also, the Conservancy announced the first successful verification of carbon credits in Chile from Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation, or REDD, from its Valdivian Coastal Reserve. And in Australia another Conservancy partner, the Indigenous Lands Corporation, sold carbon credits for $703,412. The credits were earned by applying traditional land management to prevent calamitous wildfires, an effort the Conservancy supports. Urban Resilience. In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, the New York City Mayor's Office asked The Nature Conservancy to prepare a conceptual study on how a mix of natural and built defenses could be implemented in a dense urban area. Data from the report, "Integrating Natural Infrastructure into Urban Coastal Resilience," was used to secure a $50 million commitment from FEMA to restore and test natural infrastructure at Spring Creek Park adjacent to the Howard Beach community, with the Conservancy as a key advisor to the restoration design process. As an outgrowth of the New York State 2100 Commission, to which Mark Tercek was able to bring Conservancy scientific expertise, the Community Resilience and Disaster Risk Reduction Act was signed into law, requiring applicants to state permitting and funding programs to use the best available science to plan for risks from sea level rise, storm surge and flooding. It also requires the state to adopt a set of scientifically based sea level rise projections. PBS TV Series. The Conservancy was an engagement and outreach partner on the PBS documentary series "Earth A New Wild." The five part series focuses on modern challenges to wild places in the age of humans, as well as solutions to these challenges around the globe. Among the places featured in 29 countries are areas where the Conservancy works in China's Sichuan province, Palmyra Atoll, the Colorado River, northern Kenya, the Great Plains of Montana and Canada's Great Bear Rainforest. The series airs on PBS beginning in February 2015. Also in collaboration with PBS Learning Media, the Conservancy's Nature Works Everywhere program created educational videos and interactive components for teachers and students, drawing on the wealth of content from the series. A Billion New Trees. In 2007, the Conservancy launched the successful Plant a Billion Trees program to address deforestation in Brazil's Atlantic Forest. The initial online effort gave individuals and companies an easy and affordable way to take tangible conservation action by funding the planting of trees. This year, the Conservancy expanded the effort to include large scale forest restoration projects in the southeastern United States and China and expanded work in Brazil, with the goal of restoring 1.6 million acres of forestland around the globe and having more than 1.2 billion trees growing by 2025.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b	The Form 990 is prepared, based on financial statements audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers, and other internally generated information by the Conservancy's Director of Tax Services. The Form is further reviewed by the Conservancy's Internal Audit Department (which provides independent verification of certain information) and members of Senior Management. As outlined in its charter, the Audit Committee then reviews any significant issues or judgments relating to disclosures in the Conservancy's Form 990. Finally, copies are provided to the full Board of Directors for their comment prior to filing with the IRS.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c	The Nature Conservancy's monitoring and enforcement of its conflicts policy is governed by its Conflict of Interest Standard Operating Procedure ("SOP") which is excerpted as follows: a conflict of interest exists when an individual who is responsible for acting in the best interests of The Nature Conservancy has another interest or loyalty that could influence or impair, or may appear to influence or impair, the individual's ability to act in the best interests of The Nature Conservancy. The term "conflict of interest" includes actual conflicts of interest, potential conflicts of interest (situations that could become an actual conflict in the future based upon foreseeable events or the passage of time); and perceived conflicts of interest (situations that others could reasonably perceive to be, or have the appearance of a conflict of interest). Guiding principles: All Conservancy staff, Board Members and Trustees are responsible for identifying conflicts of interest, and disclosing them to the appropriate Conservancy manager or attorney. Conservancy employees must determine whether the conflict can or should be avoided to protect the best interests of the Conservancy. If it is not reasonably possible to avoid a particular conflict of interest or it is not in the Conservancy's best interest to avoid it, all staff, Board members and Trustees are responsible for fashioning appropriate strategies to mitigate and manage the potential adverse consequences of the conflict of interest, and obtaining approval as described in this Standard Operating Procedure before proceeding with the affected activity. Identifying Conflicts of Interest Before engaging in any activity on behalf of the Conservancy, Conservancy staff, Board Members and Trustees must identify and disclose any situations that could give rise to a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict. The Disclosure Form should be completed as early as possible by parties with whom the Conservancy plans to enter into a transaction. The Disclosure Form is not the only way that the Conservancy may become aware of a conflict. Thus, even if the Disclosure Form does not reveal a conflict, but you are aware of one, you must proceed in accordance with this SOP. Conflicts of interest are not always clear-cut and easy to define. They require case by case analysis. The Conservancy is concerned with the disclosure and management of conflicts of interests involving "covered persons." However, not all activities or transactions with a covered person generate conflicts of interest. Conversely, a particular factual situation may generate a conflict of interest even when no covered person is involved. Early consultation with a senior manager or Conservancy attorney can assist in analyzing the conflict of interest and strategies for avoidance or mitigation. This SOP sets forth specific guidance for some areas of potential conflicts (see Types of Conflicts below). These are only examples, and it is the responsibility of each individual to be sensitive to any situation that creates or appears to create a conflict of interest. Reporting, Review and Approval Process: If a conflict is identified, the Conservancy staff member who is responsible for initiating and/or overseeing the proposed activity must report the conflict to his or her supervisor and the appropriate Conservancy attorney. Before proceeding with the proposed activity, review and approval to proceed must be obtained as described in this section. While a request for approval of a proposed course of action is pending or being considered, the individual involved in the conflict must refrain from participating in the activity and/or withdraw from any discussion of or decision on the matter. 1. Conflicts Committee Review: The Conflicts Committee reviews and makes determinations about all conflicts of interest involving the Conservancy. All conflicts of interests reviewed by the Conflicts Committee involving a Substantial Contributor shall be reported by the General Counsel or the Chief Compliance Officer to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, disclosing the nature of the conflict, parties involved, and the disposition of the conflict by the Conflicts Committee. 2. Review by Audit Committee: All conflicts of interest involving a member of the Board of Directors, a Director's family members, and a Director's Controlled Entities shall be submitted to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors for review and disposition. Referral to the Audit Committee is made by the General Counsel on behalf of the Conflicts Committee along with the recommendation for disposition made by the Conflicts Committee. 3. Guiding Principles: In evaluating conflict situations in order to determine an appropriate course of action, the Conservancy will be guided by the following criteria and considerations: Availability of other alternatives that would avoid the conflict of interest; Compliance with the letter and the spirit of all applicable laws relevant to all parties to the transaction; Compliance with Conservancy Policies and Standard Operating Procedures; Adherence to the Conservancy's values, such as "Integrity Beyond Reproach;" Avoidance of private benefit and inurement; Transparency; Conservation benefits likely to be achieved; Consequences to the Conservancy from declining to participate; Financial or other benefits to the Conservancy; Financial or other benefits to the other party; Nature and extent of risk to the Conservancy's reputation; and Ability to mitigate reputational risks. 4. Forms: Responsibility for Recommended Action. Employees are required to complete and submit the Request for Conflicts Committee Approval form when seeking review and approval of a course of action involving an actual, potential, or perceived conflict of interest. The completed form should recommend a course of action that is designed to minimize the conflict's potential adverse consequences. The appropriate Conservancy attorney will review this form to ensure a thorough disclosure of the relevant information and analysis of the conflict. Other staff who approve the content of these forms and submission for approval are, by approving the forms, indicating that they support and are responsible for the recommended course of action.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15	Review Process for Officer and Key Employee Compensation: The President and Chief Executive Officer's, as well as, members of the Executive Team's performances and compensation are reviewed annually by the Board of Directors. The performance and compensation of all other Key Employees is reviewed annually by their direct supervisor. All compensation amounts are based on information provided by an independent compensation consultant who utilizes comparable date from Form 990's from other organizations and compensation survey's and studies to ensure reasonableness.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19	The Nature Conservancy's governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available to the public via our website: nature.org.
Form 990, Part XI, Line 9	Net assets of unconsolidated subsidiaries.
