Conservation International (CI) is an American nonprofit environmental organization headquartered in Arlington, Virginia. Its goal is to protect nature as a source of food, fresh water, livelihoods and a stable climate.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About Us )〕 CI’s work focuses on science, policy, and partnership with businesses and communities. The organization employs more than 1,000 people and works with 2,000+ partners in more than 30 countries.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CI's Global Mission )〕 CI has helped establish 1,000 protected areas across 77 countries and protected more than 612 million hectares of land, marine and coastal areas.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About )〕 ==History== Conservation International was founded in 1987 with the aim of analyzing the problems most dangerous or harmful to nature and building a foundation dedicated to solving these issues on a global scale. This model:- * detects the problems most threatening to nature, * prevents the industry side of the world from being detrimental to nature, * ensures the knowledge the institution has acquired over its first twenty five years is shared with governments and, in doing so, * establishes policies within these countries that serve as a great benefit to people and nature. In CI's first year, the organization purchased a portion of Bolivia's foreign debt. The money was then redirected to support conservation in the Beni Biosphere Reserve. Since this first-ever debt-for-nature swap, more than $1 billion of similar deals have been made around the world. In 1989, CI formally committed to the protection of biodiversity hotspots, ultimately identifying 34 such hotspots around the world and contributing to their protection. The model of protecting hotspots became a key way for organizations to do conservation work. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Conservation International (CI) is an American nonprofit environmental organization headquartered in Arlington, Virginia.
