Ci conducts these on-the-ground demonstrations in africa, asia and the americas. Our core message is that conserving the nature and ecosystems that benefit humanwell-being over the long-term depends on our ability to develop sustainably.ci has an active presence in 52.49 million hectares across 127 terrestrial protected areas globally.
