Description	General update on program accomplishments from Nature Conservancy President and CEO Mark Tercek: As I reflect on this past year, I am proud of all that we accomplished in 2010. Stronger financial markets in FY10 helped investments rebound while spending reductions taken in FY09 took full effect, declining operating expenses by 9 percent. After nearly 60 years in operation, the Conservancy continues to be a strong force for conservation. The 10 achievements described here represent a sample of the work accomplished in the past year by The Nature Conservancy in partnership with countless individuals, organizations, governments, businesses and those who fund us. This list exhibits the range and scope of where and how we work - at individual sites and on massive scales, securing the pristine and restoring the damaged, advancing scientific discovery and informing local and global policy. We still buy land as we did at the start, but our mission has driven us to innovate and expand conservation's reach. Through these and other projects, we are helping change the way people view nature and what they believe is possible through conservation. More information on our conservation successes can be found on our Web site at www.nature.org. California's Independence Lake: The Conservancy purchased 2,325 acres of forestland that surround California's Independence Lake from NV Energy. The state of California, federal agencies, local nonprofits, private foundations and energy and water utilities aided our efforts to protect the lake, which safeguards an important source of drinking water for western Nevada and a critical watershed for California's water supply. The acquisition also supports the mainstay economy of the Sierra Nevada by providing a recreational outlet for sports enthusiasts, kayakers, and other nature lovers and supports one of the last two wild lake populations of the Lahontan cutthroat trout. Canada's Boreal Forest: Nine environmental groups and 21 timber companies signed a historic agreement that will protect 178 million acres of Canada's Boreal Forest. The agreement covers the largest amount of land ever involved in such conservation efforts and unites a coalition of forestry and conservation organizations to sustainably manage the forest while meeting the needs of local communities. Over the next three years, the Conservancy and other partners will work with the government, First Nations indigenous groups and local communities to develop the guidelines to direct how the forests are managed and logged. The Atlas of Global Conservation: On Earth Day 2010, the Conservancy and the University of California Press published The Atlas of Global Conservation, the world's first comprehensive collection of conservation maps. The book represents a collaboration of some 70 institutions, the work of hundreds of scientists, and thousands of hours of research and consolidation of incredibly specialized data. The book includes more than 100 full-color maps and charts of new information, such as where forests are disappearing most rapidly, as well as essays by leading conservation thinkers that put the information in its larger context. Marine Protected Area, Peru: After nearly a decade of promotion by the Conservancy and other groups, Peru has created its third marine protected area-the Guano Islands and Capes National Reserve. The new reserve covers nearly 350,000 acres distributed among 22 individual islands or groups of islands, 11 coastal capes and their surrounding marine spaces. The reserve lies within the Pacific Ocean's Humboldt Current marine ecosystem-a cold-water current flowing northward up the coasts of Chile and Peru-that is home to important sea bird and marine mammal populations and supplies more than 15 percent of the world's fish catch to people around the globe. Florida Everglades: The northern Everglades is a 3.5-million-acre landscape of cattle ranches, longleaf pine savannas and seasonal wetlands that forms a critical conservation resource. For decades, the Conservancy has helped protect hundreds of thousands of acres and identified appropriate northern Everglades properties for Natural Resources Conservation Service programs under the Farm Bill, assisted ranchers with participation and provided testimony to Washington decision-makers. In a major victory for nature, the U.S. Department of Agriculture dedicated $89 million for permanent conservation easements on 26,000 acres in the Fisheating Creek watershed at the headwaters of the Everglades ecosystem, the largest easement project in the program's history. Wild Bison in Mexico: Twenty-three bison are helping the Conservancy to restore Mexico's once-vast prairie ecosystem. The bison, donated by the U.S. National Park Service and taken to the Conservancy's El Uno Ecological Reserve in Chihuahua, Mexico, will serve as a "seed herd" for grassland recovery projects across the country. Bison provide a number of benefits to grasslands: breaking the soil so seeds can easily emerge, clipping the grass so other species may thrive and promoting water infiltration. Bison reintroduction is a key component to the Conservancy's grassland restoration efforts, which also include invasive species control, native grass restoration, prescribed fire and grassbanking. Forever Costa Rica: The Conservancy led a unique public-private partnership that launched Forever Costa Rica, a groundbreaking initiative that will at least double Costa Rica's marine protected areas, dramatically improve protected area management and provide necessary financing to sustain these efforts in perpetuity. The partnership has mobilized over $50 million, including $29 million in private donations to the Conservancy and a $27 million debt-for-nature swap with the U.S. government, in which the Conservancy is a private counterpart. The goal is to meet Costa Rica's commitments under the U.N. Convention on Biological Diversity by 2015. Indigenous Protected Areas, Australia: Two new protected areas in northern Australia totaling 5 million acres will protect important natural areas such as tropical savannas, gorges, rivers and wetlands, as well as rock art paintings that date back 40,000 years. The Conservancy assisted in the declaration of the Warddeken and Djelk indigenous protected areas by providing financial assistance, scientific expertise and strategic advice. The process involved members of more than 137 indigenous clans in the region and helped develop detailed management plans that will guide future land practices and provide sustainable livelihoods for indigenous rangers. New Tool, Great Lakes: The introduction of Asian carp poses a threat to U.S. lakes and rivers because, due to their large size and voracious appetites, they could significantly disrupt the food chain. The Conservancy and the University of Notre Dame have developed an innovative new method to detect the presence of this invasive species: capturing and amplifying DNA sloughed off by fish to identify bighead and silver carp. This early detection method could help prevent the establishment of a self-sustaining population. The method was proven effective after the capture of a carp in Illinois' Lake Calumet. Amazon, Brazil: Paragominas, a municipality in the Brazilian state of Pará, recently became the first municipality to come off the government's blacklist of deforesters, a designation that results in commercial embargoes and credit restrictions for rural farmers. With the Conservancy's help, the municipality met the two requirements to be taken off the list: dramatically reducing deforestation and registering more than 80 percent of its territory in the Farmland Environmental Registry (CAR). Other Brazilian municipalities are now looking to the Paragominas model to control deforestation, and several will be working with the Conservancy to develop more forest-friendly ranching practices and economic alternatives. As always, the Conservancy uses a science-based approach to determine where to work, what to conserve, and what strategies to employ. The Conservancy cannot achieve this goal alone. It will require partnering with governments, businesses, non-profits, communities and individuals. The Conservancy will also work closely with communities to protect the lands and waters they rely on for their daily survival. The significant achievements made in the past year are just the beginning. With conservation becoming a major part of public discourse, the Conservancy is set to expand and accelerate conservation on a global scale.	Description

Explanation	The lobbying work of The Nature Conservancy advances our exempt purpose mission by focusing on the conservation of lands including forests, grasslands, arid lands and water, including fresh water and marine. The Nature Conservancy devoted 1.37% of its exempt purpose expenditures to attempt to influence legislation during Fiscal Year 2010. In Fiscal Year 2010, The Nature Conservancy dedicated its efforts to defending current funding for conservation, particular land acquisition or restoration, or trying to restore funding cut during the economic downturn. The focus on U.S. federal legislation was funding for public protection of critical habitats, in programs and laws including the Land and Water Conservation Fund; Forest Service; Forest Legacy; U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, various international conservation funding programs; National Wildlife Refuge System; conservation on or near Department of Defense lands; fisheries habitat restoration; States and Tribal Wildlife Grants and Action Plans; and marine and coral reef conservation programs. In additional to U.S. federal funding, state governments cut or considered reducing funding for long-standing programs such as a Florida Forever, Alabama's Forever Wild, New York's Environmental Protection Fund, Hawaii's Natural Areas Reserve and North Carolina's conservation trust fund. Increased funding for conservation lands was pursued but not yet successful in states like California, Rhode Island, Idaho, Kentucky and South Carolina. A ballot measure authorizing a $400 million bond for conservation in New Jersey passed in 2009. The Conservancy invested in various ballot measures that will be on the November 2010 ballot, including an initiative in Oregon that makes permanent an existing funding source for conservation from lottery revenue; a measure in Iowa that establishes a state conservation funding mechanism but requires tax legislation to create the revenue; a ballot measure for additional bond authorization for conservation in New Jersey; and various measures at the local level increasing conservation funding through bonds or other funding mechanism. The Conservancy is seeking to protect habitats that are natural pristine areas and working lands, such as ranchland, where conservation can be achieved while serving economic purposes. In addition to funding, states sought to advance other legal tools that protect these critical areas of biodiversity. Conservation easements were the focus of many state efforts, including those in Missouri, Colorado, Connecticut, New Mexico, New York, and West Virginia. The Conservancy emphasized development or improvement of programs that better manage or protect natural resources including: invasive species controls, such as emerald ash borers damaging North American forests and the Asian carp harming the Great Lakes; effective fire management programs to prevent large scale forest habitat destruction; dam management to protect waterways and watershed habitats; comprehensive marine spatial planning tools to serve the long term needs of ocean ecosystems; strong environmental data requirements for energy siting policies; sustainable fisheries management; and floodplain management with conservation criteria. Examples of the important natural resources that were sought to be protected included Mississippi River and its surrounding environments; Great Lakes; California's Smith River and Santa Clara River watershed; the Mid-Atlantic's Chesapeake Bay; the Ohio River; Wisconsin's Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest; Connecticut River; Idaho's McArthur Lake and Owyhee public lands; Illinois's Cypress Creek National Wildlife Refuge; Gulf of Mexico, New Hampshire's Great Bay; Florida's Everglades; Oregon's Hells Canyon and Table Rocks; and Washington's Puget Sound. Climate change legislation that would establish limits on carbon emissions and a reliable source of revenue for habitat preservation and adaptation, including carbon sequestration through forests and grasslands and appropriate use of renewable energies that did not further degrade existing critical ecoregions with biodiversity and ecosystem services, was a major priority for the Conservancy at the U.S. federal and state level. The Conservancy weighed in on the pros and cons of alternative energy sources, such as wind, solar and biomass, where unintended consequences could harm grasslands, fisheries, bird, bat and other species and habitats. While comprehensive U.S. legislation failed, state efforts have been incrementally successful and in-roads were made in providing sound science on the strategies for responding to climate change challenges. While the overwhelming majority of the Conservancy's activities have been within the U.S., activities in other countries have included issues surrounding ecotourism, land and fisheries conservation management strategies, and in some cases funding. Many of the government policy tools traditionally used can be adopted without legislation in countries where the Conservancy works. However, a significant amount of the legislative activities outside the U.S. was focused on a very local basis in parts of China where local councils and voters determine the means to implement the National Park Management Regulations. Volunteers are a large part of the Conservancy's comprehensive efforts for habitat restoration and protection activities and professional services.

SchD_P02_S00_L03	Schedule D, Part II, Line 3	During the tax year 9 easements were transferred or sold - all to qualified organizations as defined in IRS Sec. 170(h)(3) and the related regulations and all as required by and consistent with the conservation action plan for the properties. Easements transferred or sold were: (1) Northern Great Lakes Forest, UP (Heartwood FLG 3); (2) Altamaha (Blue Sky/Penholloway) East Coast 1; (3) Altamaha River (Blue Sky/Penholloway) East Coast 2; (4) Barton River Marsh (Lyons); (5) Picassic River (Schneer 3); (6) Kanarra Mountain (Ence); (7) Johnson & Bunker Creek (Morong); (8) St. Helena Estuary (Sand Creek Farm, LLC); and (9) Big Darby Creek (Conie). During the tax year 7 easements were modified. All modifications either enhanced or were neutral with respect to the conservation purposes of the easements. Easements modified were: (1) Millpond Plantation-Perry (Wadelee) in order to eliminate firebreaks in the natural areas and to permit harvest of all non-longleaf pine and hardwoods except in research areas; (2) Savannah River Uplands (Hammond fka Runyan) Woodside in order to increase the acreage by an additional 32.69 acres and make it subject to an original easement over a smaller tract; (3) Scott (Eagle Ridge Ranch Scott Property Baseline Report) in lieu of condemnation, fee owner deeded 2.12 acres (out of 8,562 aces under easement) to WYDOT for a culvert and road widening and TNC's easement was extinguished over this land as part of that process; (4) Cove Point (Columbia LNG Corporation) in order to allow Dominion Cove Point to perform shoreline habitat and beach restoration activities to enhance the conservation of the property; (5) Brule River (D'Autremont) in order to correct an error in the legal property description; (6) Rocky Mountain Front (Deep Creek Grazing Association Inc) in order to add an additional 40 acres to coverage under the existing easement; and (7) Chickahominy River (Rogers-Chenault Inc) modified on a 1.7 acre portion of the 94.3 acre tract in accordance with a pre-existing transmission right of way agreement. During the tax year 1 easement was terminated at the request of the US Fish and Wildlife Service in cunjunction with its acceptance of the property covered by the easement. Easement terminated was: (1) Lower CT River-Salmon River (Elm Camp Company/Johnson) fee title and easement over land jointly owned by TNC and Town of Haddam were released in conjunction with the transfer of property to USFWS as part of the Conte Wildlife Refuge.
SchD_P02_S00_L05	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 Opertaing Procedure, Conservation Easements and Deed Restrictions. Excerpts from the procedure regarding frequency and IRS Reporting follow. A. Monitoring Frequency: Except as provided in Section III herein, all Conservation Interests held by the Operating Unit will be monitored at least once each calendar year (annually), except that the Operating Unit Director, with appropriate Conservancy scientist input, may authorize less frequent monitoring for an individual Conservation Interest based upon a written analysis detailing the scientific and/or other justifications for such reduced frequency of monitoring. In no event, however, will the required monitoring frequency for a Conservation Interest be less then once every three years. 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 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 the Conservancy currently holds or did hold during the current tax reporting year. Since Conservancy tax reporting is on the fiscal year and easement monitoring is on the calendar year, Operating Units must consult with their Conservation Land System staffer to determine when an easement that has been transferred to another organization by the Conservancy ceases to be "IRS-Reportable". 2. Time and Expense Reporting related to easements is required by the IRS. For every IRS-Reportable conservation 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 perating Unit must ensure that the budget centers utilized by members of each Monitoring Team 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.
SchD_P02_S00_L09	Schedule D, Part II, Line 9	The Nature Conservancy's reporting of conservation easements can be explained by the text of the following footnote from the audited financial statements. Land and Land Interests: 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. These assets fall into three primary categories: * Conservation lands - 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. * Trade lands - real property with minimal ecological value. These properties are sold to provide funds for The Conservancy to carry out its conservation work. * Conservation easements - interests in real property 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 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. With the exception of trade lands, which are assets held for sale and are carried at the lower of cost or fair market value less costs to sell, land and land interests are reported at the original book value. Upon sale or gift, the book value of the land or land interest is removed as an asset from the consolidated statement of financial position and reported as a program expense. The related proceeds, if any, are reported as revenue in the consolidated statement of activities. The majority of land sales and gifts relate to transfers of real property. Conservation easements, by their very nature, do not generate material amounts of cash inflow annually.
SchD_P05_S00_L04	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.
SchD_P10_S00_L00	Schedule D, Part X	Income taxes: 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. Effective January 1, 2007, The Conservancy adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The adoption continues to have no effect on the consolidated financial statements.

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 Operating 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 Operating 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.

F990_P03_S00_L04a	Form 990, Part III, Line 4a	Background information on The Nature Conservancy: Our Mission: The mission of The Nature Conservancy is to preserve the plants, animals and natural communities that represent the diversity of life on Earth by protecting the lands and waters they need to survive. Why We're Successful: we work to conserve the Earth's ecologically important lands and waters in local places across all 50 U.S. states and in more than 30 other countries around the world; we develop, analyze and use the best available science to prioritize our global conservation work and to ensure we implement the right strategies in the right places; we achieve tangible, lasting and measurable conservation results at scales that matter and in ways that will endure; we create innovative conservation solutions that benefit nature and enhance the well-being of people who depend on vital natural resources for their lives and livelihoods; we use our creativity, diplomacy, global reach and proven experience to tackle some of the world's most complex conservation challenges; we work respectfully and collaboratively with all sectors of society to achieve meaningful conservation results; and by showing that tangible, large-scale conservation results can be delivered, we provide hope that the Earth's special places can be restored and preserved for future generations. Accountability The Nature Conservancy is highly rated by charity watchdog organizations: the Nature Conservancy meets all of the Better Business Bureau (BBB) Wise Giving Alliance Standards for Charity Accountability; The American Institute of Philanthropy has awarded The Nature Conservancy a "Top-rated Charity" rating; the Nature Conservancy earned a three-star rating from Charity Navigator, indicating the organization "exceeds industry standards and outperforms most charities in its cause"; and the Nature Conservancy rated as the most trusted organization among 13 leading non-profit organizations, think tanks and associations in a poll by Harris Interactive®, as reported by The Chronicle of Philanthropy. Values: Integrity Beyond Reproach: We will meet the highest ethical and professional standards in all of our organizational endeavors and, in doing so, we hold ourselves accountable to our mission and to the public; Respect for People, Communities, and Cultures: Enduring conservation success depends on the active involvement of people and partners whose lives and livelihoods are linked to the natural systems we seek to conserve. We respect the needs, values and traditions of local communities and cultures, and we forge relationships based on mutual benefit and trust; Commitment to Diversity: We recognize that biological diversity conservation is best advanced by the leadership and contributions of men and women of diverse backgrounds, beliefs and cultures. We will recruit and mentor staff to create an inclusive organization that reflects our global character; One Conservancy: Our strength and vitality lie in being one organization working together in local places and across borders to achieve our global mission. We value the collective and collaborative efforts that are so essential to our success; and Tangible, Lasting Results: Our mission of preserving biological diversity guides everything we do. We use the best available science, a creative spirit, and a non-confrontational approach to craft innovative solutions to complex conservation problems at scales that matter and in ways that will endure.
F990_P06_S0B_L11	Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11	Review Process for Form 990: The Form 990 is prepared, based on financial statements audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers, and other internally generated information by the Nature Conserancy'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 issues or judgments relating to disclosures in the Conservancy's Forms 990. Finally, copies are provided to the full Board of Directors for their comment prior to filing with the IRS.
F990_P06_S0B_L12c	Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c	The Nature Conservancy's monitoring and enforcement of its compliance 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.

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.
