And our future hinges on your action. The Nature Conservancy in Illinois has launched a new type of awareness campaign. We are asking people to start conversations with their friends, colleagues and family members about something very important: Life. Conservation today is about conserving lands and waters for nature and people. The future of the human species, and all of Earth's other species, is dependent on a healthy planet and the life-sustaining systems that provide clean air, water, food and shelter that both people and wildlife need to thrive.

And to make it that much easier, on this website you can find many conversation starters and facts to support those topics. All you need to do is start them. The Conservancy is an organization that was founded on science and action. We'll bring you the conversation topic and we ask you to take action. We've divided conversation starters into three broad topics of Climate Change, Economic Impact and Habitat Preservation - start talking now.
