Partnering for Impact
Cornell Atkinson and The Nature Conservancy (TNC) partner for scalable, impact-driven research. Through grants for joint research programs and investigative teams, we mobilize resources to address research questions and sustainability challenges defined as strategic by our two organizations.
Examples of projects funded through the Cornell Atkinson-TNC partnership include soil-based climate mitigation solutions in Zambia, advanced bioacoustics for wildlife conservation in Indonesia, and modeling and optimization of renewable energy deployment in the Amazon region.
