The Nature Conservancy works to maintain fire’s role where it benefits people and nature and keep fire out of places where it is destructive.

• Use and promote Integrated Fire Management as a way to serve the fire-related needs of people and nature.
• Develop software, maps and data through the TNC-LANDFIRE project, which supports conservation action planning by partners in the US Department of Interior via the national LANDFIRE Program.
• Conduct scientific assessments to understand the causes and consequences of altered fire behavior.
• Develop site-based solutions to maintain and restore habitats that require fire to exist.
• Advance laws and policies that conserve fire’s role in nature.
• Participate in the Fire Adapted Communities Coalition, which is working to help local communities in the U.S. assess their risk and take action to safely coexist with fire.
