The Nature Conservancy

The Nature Conservancy's mission is to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends.

Ecolab, through its Foundation, supports "Securing and Restoring Water Sources Around the Globe" of The Nature Conservancy.

Through our Foundation, Ecolab has supported The Nature Conservancy's work in protecting Minnesota's forests, lakes, rivers, wetlands and prairies for 25 years.

Solutions for Life expands our partnership with The Nature Conservancy globally with a commitment of US$2 million over the next three years (through 2017).

Ecolab's funding will support The Nature Conservancy's new and ongoing efforts to protect key lands and waters in Minnesota, strategies to protect water resources in Shanghai, where more than 24 million people depend largely on the Yangtze River for water, and the expansion of efforts in the Monterrey, Mexico metropolitan area to reforest and implement other conservation methods designed to help slow the flow of water upstream from the city.
