Mission and programs · 2024

• Conservation Science Partners (CSP) is a nonprofit established to meet the research and technical needs of diverse clients and stakeholders in conservation projects around the world. Our mission is to apply human ingenuity to the preservation of nature using science, technology, and lasting partnerships with conservation practitioners. Our scientific capabilities help society to rigorously address the critical problems facing the natural environment on public and private lands. Drawing from the realms of the environmental, social, and computer sciences, our projects result in durable, defensible, academic-grade science designed to guide nonpartisan and independent decision-making.(Continued on Schedule O)To achieve and increase our impact over the last year, we: 1) engaged non-governmental organizations, foundations, agencies, socially progressive companies, and other sectors of society in a diversity of opportunities and in the user-centered design of our work; 2) carefully used cutting-edge scientific tools and technology to prototype and deliver high-quality work products in a professional, reproducible, timely, and cost-effective manner' 3) drew on a network of professionals from a wide range of disciplines, enhancing staff capacity in the rapid deployment and scaling of innovative solutions; 4) connected with the best minds in conservation science to solve problems in a way that's comprehensive, flexible, and service-oriented; and 5) helped foster the next generation of conservation scientists, practitioners, and leaders through mentorship, inclusion, and respect.Much of the work at CSP is housed among five 'labs.'

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Listed in Part VII

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
