Empowering private landowners to safeguard aquatic biodiversity

Few rivers in the United States, or even the world, can match the biodiversity found in the Elk and Duck rivers of Tennessee.

Hawaiʻi

Located in the central north Pacific Ocean and spanning 1,523 miles, the Hawaiian Archipelago consists of eight major and 124 minor islands. Due to its remote geography, Hawai‘i’s unique natural environment evolved in isolation. Hawai‘i has the world’s highest percentage of endemic species—90 percent of terrestrial and more than 25 percent of marine species are found nowhere else on Earth. In fact, every native forest bird species can only be found in Hawai‘i. Many of these birds are stunning in terms of beauty and sound; more than 55 species of honeycreeper originated from a founding group of Eurasian rosefinches such as the now extinct Kaua‘i ‘akialoa, for which half of its length was accounted for by its long sickle-shaped bill.

Central Appalachia

Formed 480 million years ago, the Appalachians are the oldest mountain range in North America. Central Appalachia boasts some of the world’s oldest river systems and most biologically diverse temperate deciduous forests. The region’s forests, streams, rivers, wetlands and floodplains host a remarkable variety of flora and fauna with long evolutionary histories. For centuries local economies have relied on the region’s rich and abundant natural resources — its expansive forests for logging, its fertile valleys for farming, and its abundant sources of energy.
