Our Mission & Approach
Sustainable Conservation advances the stewardship of natural resources using innovative, pragmatic strategies that actively engage businesses and private landowners in conservation.
Our Approach
Sustainable Conservation believes protecting the environment can also be good for business. The organization’s climate, air, water and biodiversity initiatives promote practical solutions that produce tangible, lasting benefits for California. Founded in 1993, Sustainable Conservation’s effectiveness lies in building strong partnerships with business, agriculture and government – and establishing models for environmental and economic sustainability that can be replicated across California and beyond.
Recognition
Sustainable Conservation’s work has been recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, NBC-TV, National Public Radio, USA Today, the Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle and many others.
Since 2003, Sustainable Conservation has received top honors from America's premier independent non-profit evaluator, Charity Navigator, for its financial strength and ability to maximize donations. Only 5% of nonprofits nationwide have received four consecutive four-star ratings.
