Also, complete this part for any additional information. Schedule C, Part II-B, Line 1 - The lobbying work of The Nature Conservancy advances the tax exempt purpose of the organization focusing on conservation of land and water. The Nature Conservancy devoted .58% of its exempt purpose expenditures to attempting to influence legislation in Fiscal Year 2013. Continuing the work from the prior year, the Conservancy continued to advocate for the preservation or restoration of funding for critical natural habitat protection and restoration as U.S. federal and state governments reduce overall spending with a particular emphasis on strengthening major programs like the U.S. Federal Land and Water Conservation Fund and various state programs. Preservation or improvement of state trusts and similar long-term funding mechanisms was a priority in places like Colorado, New Hampshire, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Iowa, New Jersey, and West Virginia. Ballot measures were supported for such long term funding in Rhode Island and Alabama. Defending existing environmental protections by opposing legislation that weakens the law, such as conservation easem*nts and state forestry programs, took place in states like Oregon, Colorado, Kansas, South Dakota, and Utah. Habitat-wide preservation in the form of shorelines and forests are common legislative priorities in the states. Recovery and health of specific species, like the sage grouse, salmon, and the black-footed ferret, are part of larger conservation habitat protection efforts. The reauthorization of the US Farm bill is another strategic legislative priority for habitat protection because it creates opportunities for working farms and ranches to operate sustainability and conservative critical natural resources. A major focus continues to be Schedule C (Form 990 or 990-EZ) 2012

Schedule C (Form 990) 2012

Part IV - Supplemental Information (Continued) significant investment in restoration efforts for the Gulf of Mexico responding to both the oil spill in 2011 and the long term degradation of the environment. Hurricane Sandy that occurred in the Eastern U.S. in 2012 enhanced both federal and states' government interests in effectively restoring natural infrastructure, like wetlands and oyster reefs, to minimize the impact of major weather systems. Legislation was introduced in several states to incorporate conservation and restoration efforts of natural places into long term planning. Many state policies were considered that study or restrict environmental impacts of aggressive energy development, including Oregon's oceans legislation, energy siting legislation in Pennsylvania, Maryland's bill to study Marcellus shale, New Mexico's woody biomass certification program, Wisconsin's mining laws, and New Hampshire's comprehensive energy plan legislation. The onslaught of invasive species has continued to be addressed in legislation across many states. Water and marine habitats across the world are a major focus of public policy around the world for The Nature Conservancy. Legislative solutions are primarily presented in the United States at the Federal, state and local level. Examples include coastal marine spatial planning, stormwater management, dam design and removals to restore local watershed health, local bonding measures in Texas to protect critical freshwater sources, Connecticut River watershed study, shoreline protections for habitats and people, funding to support places like the Colorado River and Yampa River, creation of wetlands mitigation banks, multiple approaches to protect the Great Lakes, the Pacific Coast salmon recovery fund, oyster restoration along the east coast and Gulf of Mexico, and the Texas-wide water plan. The Nature Conservancy does a small amount of its lobbying in countries such as Canada, Brazil, Chile, and China where conservation experiences are shared to adopt sustainable land and water use policy with long term funding methods for protection, restoration and management of nature's resources. Some volunteers, but no more 500 hours, were used by the Conservancy to influence legislation to protect existing government conservation programs and pursue opportunities for increased protections.

Schedule D, Part II, Line 5 - The Nature Conservancy's written policy regarding the periodic monitoring, inspection, violations, and Schedule D (Form 990) 2012

Page

Schedule D (Form 990) 2012

Part XIII - Supplemental Information (Continued) enforcement of the conservation easem*nts it holds is governed by our Standard Operating Procedure, Conservation Easem*nts and Deed Restrictions. Excerpts from the procedure regarding frequency and IRS Reporting follow. A. Monitoring Frequency: Except as provided in Part II, Section III.A herein, all Conservation Interests held by the OU will be monitored at least once each calendar year (annually). B. Information Gathered for IRS Reporting Purposes: The IRS requires that the tax returns of non-profits include a range of information on the conservation easem*nts it holds, or did hold at any time during the reporting tax year ("IRS-Reportable" easem*nts). These requirements include a report of total staff hours and a list of expenses associated with monitoring and enforcing those easem*nts. They also include a number of other questions, some of which are answered by required fields in the monitoring reports, and some of which are answered from Conservation Land System ("CLS") records. Note that that the IRS does not require reporting regarding monitoring of deed restrictions. Therefore monitoring of deed restrictions should not be considered to be "IRS-Reportable." 1. IRS-Reportable easem*nts are those which TNC currently holds or did hold during the current tax reporting year. Since TNC tax reporting is on the fiscal year and easem*nt monitoring is on the calendar year, OUs must consult with their CLS staffer to determine when an easem*nt that has been transferred to another organization by TNC ceases to be "IRS-Reportable." 2. Time and Expense Reporting related to easem*nts is required by the IRS. For every IRS-Reportable easem*nt all staff hours spent on "easem*nt monitoring and enforcement" must be appropriately coded in bi-weekly time reports. Further, any funds spent on related costs, including travel expenses, must also be appropriately coded in the General Ledger. A dedicated sub-1 code (-8888) has been established for this purpose. Each OU must ensure that the budget centers utilized by members of each Monitoring Team (as defined below) have that sub-1 code established and available, and that it is utilized. This important information must be captured so that it can be included in our annual tax filing. With respect to Enforcement excerpts from the Standard Operating procedure follow. The holder of a conservation easem*nt ("Easem*nt") or a deed restriction ("Restriction") (collectively the "Conservation Interests") has a responsibility to enforce the terms of the Conservation Interest in perpetuity. The integrity of a Conservation Interest should never be compromised to avoid litigation. The success the Conservancy has in defending its Conservation Interests has a profound impact on both our organizational reputation and the effectiveness of easem*nts generally. A well-articulated enforcement standard operating procedure and consistent application will help to ensure the ongoing effectiveness of the Conservancy's easem*nt program. Prompt compliance with this procedure is required to ensure that the conservation purposes and values reflected in the Easem*nt or Restriction are not lost through the passage of time.

Schedule D, Part II, Line 9 - The Conservancy records land and land interests at cost if purchased or at fair value at the date of acquisition, if all or part of the land was received as a donation. Fair value is generally determined by appraisal at the time of acquisition and is not subsequently adjusted. Upon sale or gift, the book value of the land or land interest is reported as a program expense and the related proceeds, if any, are reported as revenue in the consolidated statement of activities. Conservation land is real property with significant ecological value. These properties are either managed in an effort to protect the natural biological diversity of the property, or transferred to other organizations who will manage the lands in a similar fashion. Conservation easem*nts are comprised of listed rights and/or restrictions over the owned property that are conveyed by a property owner to The Conservancy, almost always in perpetuity, in order to protect the owned property as a significant natural area, as defined in federal tax regulations. These intangible assets may be sold or transferred to others so long as the assignee agrees to carry out, in perpetuity, the conservation purposes intended by the original grantor. Conservation easem*nts, by their very nature, do not generate material amounts of cash inflow annually.

Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 - The Endowment includes approximately 770 individual endowment funds. The Endowment provides stable financial support to a wide variety of programs and activities in perpetuity, playing a critical role in enabling the Conservancy to achieve its mission. Programs supported by the Endowment include restoring, monitoring, and managing natural areas owned by the Conservancy and others, as well as, many other activities and actions vital to the preservation of natural diversity. The Endowment includes both donor-restricted endowment funds and funds designated by the Board of Directors (Board) to function as endowments. Net assets associated with endowment funds, including Board-designated endowment funds, are classified and reported based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions.

Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 - The Conservancy has been granted an exemption from Federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Internal Revenue Service has classified The Conservancy as other than a private foundation. The Conservancy pays a nominal amount of tax relating to several unrelated business income activities, primarily rental income from debt-financed property. The Conservancy takes no tax positions that it considers to be uncertain.

Schedule F, Part I, Line 2 - The Nature Conservancy's procedure for monitoring grants outside the United States is governed by the Government Grants, Cooperative Agreements, Contracts and Other Agreements Negotiation and Administration Standard Operating Procedure which is excerpted as follows: All staff responsible for government grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and other agreements will negotiate and administer such awards in an efficient and effective manner. The Conservancy has a Grants Service Network to ensure that this occurs, including assuring compliance with all applicable funder statutes and regulations. The attached table assigns performance responsibilities to the key positions involved in the negotiation and administration of the following types of agreements: 1. agreements to the Conservancy from United States federal, state and local government agencies, multilateral agencies, and other national and local governments; and 2. the Conservancy's grants of funds to other entities, including those funded by a government agency, multilateral organization, other non-profit organization, private foundation, or private donor. Conservancy grants to other entities are also subject to the "Grants by the Nature Conservancy to Grantees" Standard Operating Procedure. In order to effectively manage these agreements and to ensure accountability, the Conservancy employs a team approach during all stages of the process, from pre-proposal discussions with potential funding agencies through final closeout of specific agreements. Working as a team assures that the Conservancy successfully secures government funding for conservation projects and carries out these projects in compliance with both external and internal requirements, negotiating the best possible agreements and ensuring the projects are completed on time and within budget. Essential team members are a Project Manager, a Grants Specialist, and an Attorney. As appropriate, team members at any stage of the process should solicit input from staff in their respective Operating Units, such as finance, philanthropy, external affairs or other conservation staff. Purpose: To ensure compliance with government laws and regulations and to ensure the efficient and effective management of funds provided by U.S. federal, state and local governments, other national and local governments, and multilateral sources by the Conservancy, as well as Conservancy funds provided to other entities.

Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 - The Nature Conservancy's procedure for monitoring grants within the United States is governed by the Government Grants, Cooperative Agreements, Contracts and Other Agreements Negotiation and Administration Standard Operating Procedure which is excerpted as follows: All staff responsible for government grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and other agreements will negotiate and administer such awards in an efficient and effective manner. The Conservancy has a Grants Service Network to ensure that this occurs, including assuring compliance with all applicable funder statutes and regulations. The attached table assigns performance responsibilities to the key positions involved in the negotiation and administration of the following types of agreements: 1. agreements to the Conservancy from United States federal, state and local government agencies, multilateral agencies, and other national and local governments; and 2. the Conservancy's grants of funds to other entities, including those funded by a government agency, multilateral organization, other non-profit organization, private foundation, or private donor. Conservancy grants to other entities are also subject to the "Grants by the Nature Conservancy to Grantees" Standard Operating Procedure. In order to effectively manage these agreements and to ensure accountability, the Conservancy employs a team approach during all stages of the process, from pre-proposal discussions with potential funding agencies through final closeout of specific agreements. Working as a team assures that the Conservancy successfully secures government funding for conservation projects and carries out these projects in compliance with both external and internal requirements, negotiating the best possible agreements and ensuring the projects are completed on time and within budget. Essential team members are a Project Manager, a Grants Specialist, and an Attorney. As appropriate, team members at any stage of the process should solicit input from staff in their respective Operating Units, such as finance, philanthropy, external affairs or other conservation staff. Purpose: To ensure compliance with government laws and regulations and to ensure the efficient and effective management of funds provided by U.S. federal, state and local governments, other national and local governments, and multilateral sources by the Conservancy, as well as Conservancy funds provided to other entities.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4a - Dow Chemical Collaboration: The breakthrough collaboration between the Conservancy and The Dow Chemical Company continues to help Dow and the business community recognize, value and incorporate nature in their global business goals, decisions and strategies. The collaboration was awarded the 2013 Roy Family Award for Environmental Partnership, which is presented by the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University every two years to celebrate an outstanding public-private partnership project that enhances environmental quality through novel and creative approaches. Sage Grouse Protection: A research study led by the Conservancy indicates that Wyoming's core area strategy, which was implemented in 2008 and limits infrastructure development within areas of high sage grouse population densities, is likely to be critical in reducing future declines of sage grouse. The report also notes that additional federal investments of $250,000 in conservation easem*nts could help reduce projected long-term grouse population declines by 62 percent within the core areas. Science for Nature and People: SNAP (Science for Nature and People) is an unprecedented collaboration among the Conservancy, the Wildlife Conservation Society and the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis to find practical ways in which the conservation of nature can help provide food, water, energy and security to Earth's fast-growing population. SNAP will harness the expertise of many organizations, scientists, policymakers and practitioners, breaking down the traditional walls between disciplines, institutions and sectors. Volunteers Protect Gulf Coast: More than 800 volunteers, including 373 airmen and women from Keesler Air Force Base, came together at Pelican Point, Ala., to build a 224-foot living shoreline. Volunteers moved more than 13,000 "oyster castles" - interlocking concrete blocks - to form the foundation of four oyster reefs that will ultimately protect 329 feet of natural shoreline, helping to minimize erosion, protect coastal dunes and enhance natural habitat. Musical Artists Reach Out: A stellar array of musical artists - ranging from alt-country rocker Ryan Bingham to desert-blues band Tinariwen - joined the Conservancy's All Hands on Earth campaign, an online effort featuring original videos with music to engage new audiences and encourage them to take environmental actions. The video featuring hip-hop duo Macklemore and Ryan Lewis quickly became the Conservancy's most viewed video after being viewed more than half a million times in just two weeks. Membership Launched in Australia: The Conservancy launched its first non-U.S. membership program in Australia in late 2012. The Conservancy works in more than 35 countries around the world, and has membership programs in the works for additional markets in the coming year. Malicious but Delicious: The Nature Conservancy in Texas is encouraging residents to help control the state's invasive species by eating them. For Earth Day, Austin chefs Ned and Jodi Elliot developed unique and delicious recipes using some of Texas' most pernicious invasive species, including Himalayan blackberry jam, wild boar rillettes and orecchiette with bastard cabbage. Colombia Cycling Tour: A Conservancy scientist in Colombia and his cycling team pedaled more than 2,000 kilometers over 14 days to educate and motivate children to get to know the ecosystems and cultures that define the natural diversity of their country. Carlos Pedraza, a Geographic Information Systems specialist, joined the Buena Vibra Cycling System for Cycling Colombia to generate awareness in the Magdalena-Cauca River basin, a focal area of the Great Rivers Partnership. Awards and Accolades: The 2013 Harris Poll EquiTrend named The Nature Conservancy the Environmental Non-Profit Brand of the Year. Other honors include a 2013 PR News Nonprofit award in the external publication category and an honorable mention for the media relations campaign "Coral Reefs Saved My Life," and lead scientist Sanjayan was part of a CBS News team that received an Emmy nomination for its reporting on the ivory wars in Africa. Great Lakes TV Series: The Conservancy and Detroit Public TV co-produced a series of two-hour programs called "Great Lakes Now Connect." The series, which feature Conservancy scientists as moderators for expert panels, provides in-depth reporting about critical issues that impact the Great Lakes area and its nearly 34 million residents. The programs have aired on public television stations around the country. ¿De Donde Viene Tu Agua? The Conservancy and the Latin America Conservation Council have launched a public awareness campaign - "Where Does Your Water Come From?" - in Latin America, with the objective of inspiring audiences to conserve water and protect the environment. The first national campaign kicked off in Colombia in partnership with Caracol Television, which is watched by 93 percent of urban adult TV viewers in Colombia each week, and will roll out in other countries in the coming year. Caribbean Summit: In May 2013, the Conservancy convened more than 25 CEOs and government leaders for the Caribbean Summit of Political and Business leaders, co-hosted by the prime minister of Grenada, the premier of the British Virgin Islands and business leader Sir Richard Branson. The summit, held in the British Virgin Islands, resulted in $64 million in conservation commitments from Caribbean governments, global corporations and partners, and launched the Defend Paradise campaign to raise awareness and support among visitors to the Caribbean. A Best-Selling Book: Conservancy President and CEO Mark Tercek, along with conservation biologist Jonathan Adams, published Nature's Fortune: How Business and Society Thrive by Investing in Nature. The book, which argues that saving nature can produce big returns for people, businesses and governments, reached the top spot on The Washington Post hardcover nonfiction bestseller list in April 2013.

Supplemental Information (Continued) the Conservancy's Form 990. Finally, copies are provided to the full Board of Directors for their comment prior to filing with the IRS.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c - The Nature Conservancy's monitoring and enforcement of its compliance policy is governed by its Conflict of Interest Standard Operating Procedure ("SOP") which is excerpted as follows: a conflict of interest exists when an individual who is responsible for acting in the best interests of The Nature Conservancy has another interest or loyalty that could influence or impair, or may appear to influence or impair, the individual's ability to act in the best interests of The Nature Conservancy. The term "conflict of interest" includes actual conflicts of interest potential conflicts of interest (situations that could become an actual conflict in the future based upon foreseeable events or the passage of time); and perceived conflicts of interest (situations that others could reasonably perceive to be, or have the appearance of a conflict of interest) Guiding principles: All Conservancy staff, Board Members and Trustees are responsible for identifying conflicts of interest, and disclosing them to the appropriate Conservancy manager or attorney. Conservancy employees must determine whether the conflict can or should be avoided to protect the best interests of the Conservancy. If it is not reasonably possible to avoid a particular conflict of interest or it is not in the Conservancy's best interest to avoid it, all staff, Board members and Trustees are responsible for fashioning appropriate strategies to mitigate and manage the potential adverse consequences of the conflict of interest, and obtaining approval as described in this Standard Operating Procedure before proceeding with the affected activity. Identifying Conflicts of Interest Before engaging in any activity on behalf of the Conservancy, Conservancy staff, Board Members and Trustees must identify and disclose any situations that could give rise to a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict. The Disclosure Form should be completed as early as possible by parties with whom the Conservancy plans to enter into a transaction. The Disclosure Form is not the only way that the Conservancy may become aware of a conflict. Thus, even if the Disclosure Form does not reveal a conflict, but you are aware of one, you must proceed in accordance with this SOP. Conflicts of interest are not always clear-cut and easy to define. They require case by case analysis. The Conservancy is concerned with the disclosure and management of conflicts of interests involving "covered persons." However, not all activities or transactions with a covered person generate conflicts of interest. Conversely, a particular factual situation may generate a conflict of interest even when no covered person is involved. Early consultation with a senior manager or Conservancy attorney can assist in analyzing the conflict of interest and strategies for avoidance or mitigation. This SOP sets forth specific guidance for some areas of potential conflicts (see Types of Conflicts below). These are only examples, and it is the responsibility of each individual to be sensitive to any situation that creates or appears to create a conflict of interest. Reporting, Review and Approval Process: If a conflict is identified, the Conservancy staff member who is responsible for initiating and/or overseeing the proposed activity must report the conflict to his or her supervisor and the appropriate Conservancy attorney. Before proceeding with the proposed activity, review and approval to proceed must be obtained as described in this section. While a request for approval of a proposed course of action is pending or being considered, the individual involved in the conflict must refrain from participating in the activity and/or withdraw from any discussion of or decision on the matter. 1. Conflicts Committee Review: The Conflicts Committee reviews and makes determinations about all conflicts of interest involving the Conservancy. All conflicts of interests reviewed by the Conflicts Committee involving a Substantial Contributor shall be reported by the General Counsel or the Chief Compliance Officer to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, disclosing the nature of the conflict, parties involved, and the disposition of the conflict by the Conflicts Committee. 2. Review by Audit Committee: All conflicts of interest involving a member of the Board of Directors, a Director's family members, and a Director's Controlled Entities shall be submitted to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors for review and disposition. Referral to the Audit Committee is made by the General Counsel on behalf of the Conflicts Committee along with the recommendation for disposition made by the Conflicts Committee. 3. Guiding Principles: In evaluating conflict situations in order to determine an appropriate course of action, the Conservancy will be guided by the following criteria and considerations: Availability of other alternatives that would avoid the conflict of interest; Compliance with the letter and the spirit of all applicable laws relevant to all parties to the transaction; Compliance with Conservancy Policies and Standard Operating Procedures; Adherence to the Conservancy's values, such as "Integrity Beyond Reproach;" Avoidance of private benefit and inurement; Transparency; Conservation benefits likely to be achieved; Consequences to the Conservancy from declining to participate; Financial or other benefits to the Conservancy; Financial or other benefits to the other party; Nature and extent of risk to the Conservancy's reputation; and Ability to mitigate reputational risks. 4. Forms: Responsibility for Recommended Action. Employees are required to complete and submit the Request for Conflicts Committee Approval form when seeking review and approval of a course of action involving an actual, potential, or perceived conflict of interest. The completed form should recommend a course of action that is designed to minimize the conflict's potential adverse consequences. The appropriate Conservancy attorney will review this form to ensure a thorough disclosure of the relevant information and analysis of the conflict. Other staff who approve the content of these forms and submission for approval are, by approving the forms, indicating that they support and are responsible for the recommended course of action.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 - Review Process for Officer and Key Employee Compensation: The President and Chief Executive Officer's, as well as, members of the Executive Team's performances and compensation are reviewed annually by the Board of Directors. The performance and compensation of all other Key Employees is reviewed annually by their direct supervisor. All compensation amounts are based on information provided by an independent compensation consultant who utilizes comparable date from Form 990's from other organizations and compensation survey's and studies to ensure reasonableness.

First Program Service Accomplishments Description _

Description _

innovative financing toward developing management plans with Traditional Owners, who are leading the way in conserving their own country. Maine and California Dams Removed: The Conservancy has been instrumental in dam removal projects that will have enormous benefits to people and nature. This summer, the Conservancy and partners broke ground on removing the San Clemente Dam near Monterey, Calif., and removed the Veazie Dam in Maine, part of the Penobscot River Restoration Project. Shark Sanctuaries Established: The legislature of Kosrae became the first in the Federated States of Micronesia to establish shark protection in its waters, and the Raja Ampat government in Indonesia declared its nearly 11.4 million acres of marine waters a shark sanctuary. The Conservancy supported these efforts, which are part of a growing trend to establish regionwide shark sanctuaries in Asia-Pacific, through awareness-building campaigns and technical advice. Rejoining the Colorado: The Conservancy is collaborating with a binational coalition of environmental organizations to help fulfill an agreement between the U.S. and Mexico to revive the Colorado River delta. The agreement will help define how the countries share the river's resources in the face of increasing demands for water while restoring water to the environment. The Colorado River provides drinking water for more than 33 million people, yet since 1960 the river has rarely reached the sea. Rare African Antelope Recovers: Northern Kenya's community-run sanctuary for the critically endangered hirola launched with support from the Conservancy, the Northern Rangelands Trust and an international coalition of partners, including the China Global Conservation Fund - is showing quick results with the birth of 12 calves. With fewer than 500 hirola remaining, these births provide hope that under the right care their numbers could eventually rebound. Oregon Oyster Recovery: Native Olympia oyster populations are making a comeback in Oregon's Netarts Bay. In 2005, the Conservancy began partnering with Whiskey Creek Shellfish Hatchery to reintroduce young oysters in a bid to bring the species back from the brink of extinction. After eight years and the reintroduction of more than 1.5 million adult Olympia oysters, young "Olys" have finally begun showing up in the population. Black-Footed Ferret Boost: Efforts to protect the black-footed ferret, one of North America's most endangered animals, received a boost in May when the Conservancy purchased 1,800 acres in South Dakota's Conata Basin. The purchase was funded by the Conservancy's sale of 3,900 nearby acres, on which the Conservancy retains an easem*nt, to a conservation-minded bison ranching company. The transactions have resulted in bison being reintroduced to the landscape and additional protection for prairie dogs, the ferrets' primary food source. Hurricane Sandy Response: The Conservancy has been instrumental in steering the Hurricane Sandy recovery conversation toward natural solutions. Conservancy CEO Mark Tercek was appointed to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's 2100 Commission, and the Conservancy worked with New York City to identify and implement a mix of natural and "built" infrastructure to better protect the city from future storms. Smarter Development Law: Colombia has enacted a new nationwide law requiring all mining, energy and infrastructure projects to follow smarter development guidelines that consider environmental impacts to entire natural systems. This legislation was largely influenced by the Conservancy's science and government engagement work in five different regions of Colombia. Innovative Science Research: Nine young scientists have been named as inaugural NatureNet Science Fellows, a Nature Conservancy partnership designed to help kick-start conservation toward addressing the challenges facing people and nature in the 21st century. Each fellow will pursue research that promises to deliver crucial answers regarding sustainable food production systems, clean water supplies, energy futures and urban ecology. Safer Drinking Water: After years of declining water quality, the Conservancy, the Environmental Defense Fund and the Water Department for Bloomington, Ill., agreed to protect drinking water for more than 70,000 residents as a replicable model for the region and beyond. The groups are partnering with farmers to construct wetlands that capture nitrogen before it reaches the drinking water supply and to reduce runoff while maintaining farm yields. Indonesia Forest Certification: The total area of Forest Stewardship Council-certified forests has more than doubled in Indonesia - from 2.05 million acres in January 2011 to 4.13 million acres in July 2013. Over the past decade, in collaboration with different institutions, the Conservancy has directly helped timber concessions covering 84 percent of that area achieve FSC certification by providing training in reduced-impact logging and improved harvest planning, and by identifying high conservation value forests. Boosting Federal Forest Restoration: The Conservancy was instrumental in helping the U.S. Forest Service cover a budget shortfall after a long fire season depleted its firefighting budget early. The Conservancy and other conservation organizations pushed Congress to put $400 million back toward programs that invest in forest restoration efforts that reduce the risk and intensity of fires. U.S. Ballot Measures Advance: The Conservancy's state chapters took leading roles in 13 state and local conservation funding ballot measures in the November 2012 election, in many cases providing strategic management, financial support, voter outreach and endorsem*nts. Twelve of the 13 campaigns were successful, generating more than $700 million for land and water conservation and parks. _
