SNAPP is a global collaboration advancing evidence-based, scalable solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges at the intersection of nature conservation, sustainable development, and human well-being. We envision a future where protecting nature goes hand-in-hand with improving lives.

Global Collaboration, Tangible Solutions: Teams Driving Science Into Action

Discover our most recently launched working groups!

Human Climate Migration and Biodiversity

When the changing climate causes human migration, what are the consequences for biodiversity?

Advancing Ocean Equity

How and when does equitable governance improve social and ecological outcomes in coastal initiatives?

Gold Mining and Mercury in the Amazon

What can civil society do to address the environmental and social harms caused by gold mining and associated mercury contamination in the Amazon Basin?

Nature Assessments for Impact

What is nature worth, and how can people use this information to make a case for conservation?

Outcomes

Our work is focused on solutions — from changing policies to sharing research and providing tools to conservation groups. Our teams have published science papers that influenced global leaders like the World Bank. Media coverage of our ivory trade research in National Geographic and Time encouraged the Chinese government to consider economic factors in their ivory trade ban.
