Join the International Land Conservation Network (ILCN) to celebrate the winner of the 2025 Conservation Innovation Award, Fundación Tierra Austral (FTA), in a virtual award ceremony on Thursday, December 11 at 9 AM ET.
A large group of about two dozen people from Fundación Tierra Austral and partners pose for a group photo outdoors in front of dense green trees. Some are standing in a row and others are kneeling or sitting on the ground, dressed in casual outdoor clothing, jackets, hats, and hiking shoes, with name tags visible on their chests. The setting looks like a natural area or conservation site in Chile, reflecting their collaboration on private and civic land conservation and new legal frameworks to help landowners protect high-ecological-value landscapes.
