TNC AND THE TRUST FOR PUBLIC LAND PURCHASED A 19,200-ACRE, $25.4 MILLION PROPERTY WITH SUPPORT FROM GREAT OUTDOORS COLORADO TO HELP THE COLORADO PARKS AND WILDLIFE TRANSFORM IT INTO FISHERS PEAK STATE PARK. THE PARK IS HOME TO MORE THAN 900 SPECIESINCLUDING ELK, BOBCAT, AND PEREGRINE FALCONAND HELPS SECURE A WILDLIFE CORRIDOR FROM THE SANGRE DE CRISTO MOUNTAINS TO THE GRASSLANDS OF THE HIGH PLAINS. TNC CREATED A NEW DURABLE RIVER PROTECTION FRAMEWORK, WHICH WAS ADOPTED IN THE BALKANS AND KEEPS CLEAN AND HEALTHY WATERS FLOWING. THIS IS CRITICAL BECAUSE RIVERS HOLD MUCH OF THE WORLD'S BIODIVERSITY AND ARE THE LEAST PROTECTED OF THE EARTH'S NATURAL SYSTEMS. TNC, WITH THE PEW CHARITABLE TRUSTS, CREATED A NEW MARKET FOR MORE THAN 100 STRUGGLING OYSTER FARMERS IN ME, NH, MA, NY, NJ, MD AND WA STATE DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. THESE SHELLFISH GROWERS SOLD THEIR HEALTHY SURPLUS OYSTERS TO THIS PROJECT, CALLED SUPPORTING OYSTER AQUACULTURE AND RESTORATION ("SOAR"), WHICH THEN TRANSPLANTS THEM TO NEARBY REEF-RESTORATION SITES. A SINGLE OYSTER CAN FILTER 50 GALLONS OF WATER IN ONE DAY, AND AN ENTIRE OYSTER REEF CAN BE CRITICAL TO THE HEALTH OF BAYS AND ESTUARIES. ENTERPRISING OYSTER FARMS PROVIDED THESE ECOLOGICAL BENEFITS AND THIS ALSO CONTRIBUTES TO RURAL ECONOMIES. FULFILLING SOAR'S MISSION OF BUYING 5 MILLION OYSTERS OVER A TWO-YEAR PERIOD MEANS PRODUCERS WILL BE ABLE TO STAY AFLOAT WHILE LONG-TERM EFFORTS TO RESTORE LOCAL REEFS GET A HELPFUL BOOST.�(Less), (Less), PROVIDE FOOD AND WATER SUSTAINABLY -TNC HAS HELPED MOVE MORE THAN 15 MILLION ACRES OF AGRICULTURAL LAND TO USING SOIL HEALTH PRACTICES.
