Looking to make an impact this Earth Month? Here’s how.
Island Conservation, an international nonprofit organization dedicated to restoring islands for nature and people worldwide, is excited to announce its rebranding initiative after 30 years of successful environmental interventions. The organization has launched a new website and logo, both of which reflect the numerous benefits of island restoration for wildlife, oceans and communities that Island Conservation has come to realize.
The rebranding effort aligns with Island Conservation’s vision of a world filled with vibrant biodiversity, resilient oceans, and thriving island communities. The newly revamped website has been reorganized to enhance transparency and facilitate easy access to comprehensive information about the organization’s work, ranging from project sites to financial statements. Moreover, the website’s Journal section will be regularly updated with new stories every week, providing visitors with fresh insights into Island Conservation’s ongoing efforts.
“Our user-friendly website and new branding play a crucial role in encouraging support for holistic island restoration that truly works,” said Penny Becker, CEO of Island Conservation. “By providing a wealth of information and showcasing the positive impact of our interventions, Island Conservation aims to inspire individuals and organizations to join our cause and contribute to the preservation of our planet’s precious island ecosystems.”
One of the new site’s notable features is an interactive map that allows users to explore different projects based on their locations. For instance, visitors can click on Ulithi Atoll, located in the western Pacific Ocean and part of Yap State, to learn about the transformative work carried out on Loosiep Island. This particular project successfully improved food security and climate resilience for a vulnerable community by combining traditional knowledge with modern science. As a result, the island is witnessing remarkable recovery, including the first sighting of turtle hatchlings in living memory.
Island Conservation invites everyone to explore our new website and discover the remarkable stories of island restoration. With the rebranding initiative, we aim to foster a deeper understanding of the importance of preserving biodiversity, protecting our oceans, and supporting resilient island communities.
