EcoLogic's mission
Our Mission
EcoLogic's mission is to empower rural people to restore and protect tropical ecosystems.
We believe that the preservation of biological diversity, ecosystems,
and natural places is critically important to the survival of us all
– people, plants, and animals alike. In addition to the intrinsic value
of nature and wildlife, biological diversity and healthy ecosystems
provide humankind with many of the things that sustain our lives,
including clean air and water, fertile soil, a stabile climate, food,
medicines, materials and technologies, and a diversity of genes and
species – not to mention recreational opportunities and natural beauty.
One of our fundamental beliefs is that the people who live near or in a threatened ecosystem are those who are best positioned to repair and protect that system for the long term. Or, put another way, we believe that when people understand that their quality of life is reliant upon the health of their natural environment and that they have a direct hand in identifying and creating ways to protect and sustainably use their natural resources, both nature and people are served.
In
all of our work, EcoLogic acts strategically, community by community,
building on common interests and goals, to create alliances that will
lead to cumulative, positive impacts – impacts that are not just local,
but on a regional scale and beyond. It is through collaboration that we
believe humankind will achieve positive, sustainable change. And though
the threats are imminent and the challenges real, we are confident that
through mutual cooperation and respect we still have time to conserve
and protect our one shared planet, Earth.
