Mission

The Phoenix Conservancy's mission is to restore endangered ecosystems globally for the communities that depend on them and the conservation of biodiversity. Our goal is to return degraded land to healthy, functional ecosystems with maximal extant, native biodiversity. We work to restore some of the worlds most critically-endangered ecosystems, where we use social enterprise tied to ecosystem restoration as a vehicle to combat and reverse: • Mass extinction of Earth's biodiversity • Climate change and resulting insecurity, desertification, and erosion • Poverty, malnutrition, poor quality of life, and loss of economic empowerment While these foci may seem unconnected at first glance, ecosystem degradation and human desperation invariably go hand-in-hand; TPC strongly believes that successful restoration depends on addressing causes of human suffering simultaneously. For endangered ecosystems and the communities that depend on them, restoration distills down to making it possible for humans and biodiversity to survive long enough to adapt and persist, through strategic, efficient, rapid ecosystem regeneration that generates opportunities to improve people's lives. WHERE WE WORK TPC works in ecosystems that: -Are Critically Endangered -Have High Biodiversity -Present Pragmatic Opportunities for the Greatest Impact As a rapidly-growing grassroots organization, we are pursuing an ambitious Strategic Plan to meet the desperate need of our times. In November 2025, we adopted three new focal ecosystems, broadening our approach and impact around the globe. We currently focus on restoration in: -Palouse Prairie (Southeastern Washington State and adjacent Idaho) -Great Plains Prairie (Central South Dakota) -Hawaiian Dry Forest Mosaic (Hawaii) -Chocó Lowland Rainforest (Ecuador) -Andean Forest (South America) -Montane Forest (Madagascar)
