Conserving Lands that Matter

Today we stand at a precipice. Millions of acres are disappearing every year. As these precious spaces are lost, so too are the plants and animals that call them home.

Atira Conservation is making a difference by investing in land conservation projects across the U.S. As a registered tax-exempt nonprofit private foundation 501(c)3 we are collaborating with land trusts, conservation organizations and private landowners to safeguard natural spaces for wildlife, for people and for the future of our planet.
