It is important to give back and we need to preserve those remote and out-of-the-way places, people and wildlife that need our help.

What They Do
Island Conservation is a non-profit organization with the mission to prevent extinctions by removing invasive species from islands. Island Conservation has therefore focused its efforts on islands with species categorized as Critically Endangered and Endangered on the IUCN's Red List.

The Skinny & History on Island Conservation
Island Conservation began as an idea shared by University of California, Santa Cruz professors Don Croll and Bernie Tershy after witnessing the impacts of invasive species on islands in Mexico first-hand while conducting their seabird research. These humble beginnings grew into a network of conservationists in 1994 and became an international non-profit organization in 1997. Today, Island Conservation is on the front lines of preventing extinctions and working to expand the boundaries of island conservation efforts worldwide.
Islands Conservation works with local communities, government management agencies, and conservation organizations on islands with the greatest potential for preventing the extinction of globally threatened species. They develop comprehensive and humane plans for the removal of invasive species, implement the removal of invasive species, conduct research to better understand how invasive species removal changes and benefits island ecosystems and to inform future conservation action.
​
Island Conservation is headquartered in Santa Cruz, CA with field offices in Chile, Ecuador, Hawaii, New Zealand, Palau, and Puerto Rico. Since thier founding in 1994, Island Conservation and our partners have successfully restored 65 islands worldwide, benefiting 1218 populations of 504 species and subspecies.
