Mission & Vision

Bringing people together to find sustainable solutions.

Our Mission

Sustainable Conservation advances the collaborative stewardship of California’s land, air, and water for the benefit of nature and people.

Our Vision

California is successfully adapting to and mitigating climate change; our water ecosystems are healthy and supporting California’s diversity of wildlife and people; all Californians have access to clean, reliable, and affordable water and have reduced flood risk; and California agriculture is thriving and stewarding natural resources to feed the state and the nation.  

Partnering for Change

Collaboration and inclusivity are in our DNA. For nearly three decades, Sustainable Conservation has built coalitions of people with different interests to catalyze conservation success. By listening deeply and honoring all perspectives, we locate common ground on which to forge a better path forward for our Golden State.

Our current programmatic efforts include:

  • Stepping up our efforts to address the dire lack of clean drinking water for more than one million Californians.
  • Targeting on-farm pollution-reduction technologies to benefit impacted communities.
  • Guiding groundwater recharge practices to protect, and ideally improve, water quality.
  • Widening our outreach to ensure all communities can access simplified pathways for habitat restoration work.
