SNAPP: Because Everyone’s Prosperity Relies on Nature
How can protecting nature help secure food, energy and water — and enhance the quality of life — for 10 billion people? Science for Nature and People Partnership (SNAPP) — a new scientific collaboration among The Nature Conservancy, the Wildlife Conservation Society, and the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis — is taking on this key question for the planet.
