Para la Naturaleza (PLN) is an arts-forward conservation organization that has protected a land trust of nearly 40,000 acres across 86 sites in Borikén (Puerto Rico) for over forty years. PLN conserves lands of high ecological value, encourages responsibility for its natural resources and promotes public policy for its protection. Providing an experience of nature in the present and preserving it for future generations is PLN’s core mission, which involves supporting artists’ engagement in ecologically oriented residencies, programming, and study initiatives.
