Social Media Community Guidelines

When interacting with other nature lovers, remember to treat each other with kindness and respect at all times.

The Nature Conservancy welcomes you to engage on our social media accounts in healthy and productive discourse about protecting nature—for everyone.

This page provides a better understanding of how to engage with TNC on social media and what you can expect from us. In short, our values guide everything we do here, and this extends to our social media communities. We ask that users treat each other with courtesy and respect at all times.

We reserve the right to delete any comments or block users that fall outside of our values and guidelines outlined below:

Be Kind and Courteous

We're all in this together to create a welcoming environment. Let's treat everyone with respect. Healthy debates are natural, but be kind: do not personally attack your fellow commenter during a disagreement.
 

Refrain from Hate Speech and Bullying

Make sure everyone feels safe. Bullying, cursing and harassment of any kind is not allowed, and degrading comments about race, religion, culture, sexual orientation, gender or identity will not be tolerated.

Respect Everyone's Privacy
