One of TNC\u2019s primary goals is to cultivate an inclusive work environment so that employees around the globe have a sense of belonging and feel that their unique contributions are valued. We know we\u2019ll only achieve our mission by hiring and engaging a diverse staff that reflects the communities in which we work.

Since establishing the Africa Program in 2007, The Nature Conservancy\u2019s vision in Africa is to work\u00a0towards\u00a0fostering\u00a0a\u00a0sustainable\u00a0future\u00a0for people and nature, partnering with indigenous communities across 55 million acres on the continent. Our efforts are firmly rooted in people, leveraging scientific and technical expertise as we collaborate with governments and organizations to conserve and enhance Africa\u2019s shared resources in the 9 countries we operate.<\/p>\n

TNC Africa Oceans Strategy focuses on securing large-scale ocean protection by supporting effective marine spatial planning, sustainable fisheries, and community-led conservation approaches. Our work seeks to establish sustainable financing to enable conservation outcomes at large marine ecosystem scale, by supporting policy and regulatory frameworks, as well as local capacity, with emphasis on linking science and communities to habitat protection, restoration and management. TNC\u2019s work on fisheries aims to safeguard productive marine fisheries for ecosystem health and as important foundation for food and livelihood security. Our vision is for aquaculture to grow with the least environmental impact. TNC has established partnerships with several non-government and government agencies to support fisheries and coastal community-led conservation throughout Africa.<\/p>\n

WHAT WE CAN ACHIEVE TOGETHER<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our aim is to conserve and restore lost or degraded coastal wetlands (seagrass meadows, mangroves, and salt marshes) and promote best practices to scale beyond the capacity of TNC. The current geographic focus of TNC Africa Oceans Strategy is Seychelles, Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, Gabon, Namibia, Angola, and Mauritius. The focus of this program is coastal Kenya with most\u00a0functions in the South Coast and Lamu-Tana seascape.<\/p>\n
