A Fresh Approach to Conservation
People need healthy and abundant natural resources as the basis of just about everything - food, clean water and air, economic options and of course, beautiful places and experiences. Although the connections are not always obvious, humans depend on healthy nature. It cannot be taken for granted.
Climate change and unsustainable resource management practices are undermining those resources, around the West, and far beyond to almost every corner of the earth.
Conservation, restoration, and responsible use are not pie-in-the-sky. If done well and applied wisely, they can work.
But old school conservation methods won't get the job done. If old school worked, we wouldn't be still arguing over the same resource management issues that first came up in the 1970s.
New ideas. New tools. New information. New partners.
We're “New School.”
