The Nature Conservancy gets up close and personal with four major issues concerning Long Island's environment

prev / 5 of 9 / next

The Nature Conservancy's Long Island conservation program is organized into six teams, each designed to implement a suite of strategies that abates specific threats or improves ecological health across all of our sites.

These dynamic teams use a multidisciplinary approach to respond quickly to opportunity and achieve lasting conservation results. Each team develops and strengthens The Nature Conservancy's scientific knowledge and communicates environmental needs to our public and private conservation partners and to the public-at-large.

With the 'Take A Second Look' campaign, the conservancy aims to re-educate the Long Island population about the Great South Bay's importance with the help of four extraordinary critters. The series of posters, found on Long Island Rail Road platforms, draws attention to the natural details of each while also revealing the struggle they endure on a daily basis.
