Private Land Conservation Superhero!

Meet our Ambassadors in 2022

At ENPLC, we believe individual action can have a domino effect. Inspirational people try to preserve land for future generations. They work hard to withstand climate change’s challenges and bring back lost biodiversity. They deserve more recognition! In their conservation work, they are looking for solutions such as composting, crop rotation, permaculture, wildlife corridors, native species planting, protected area establishment and much more. We ask, what did they learn about private land conservation? What have they accomplished? What has still to be done?

Our latest ambassador:
