Mission:

The Georgia Conservancy is dedicated to responsible stewardship and protection of Georgia's natural resources. Through environmental education, principled advocacy, and inclusive decision-making we strive to make Georgia a better place to live.

Guiding Principles

  • The integrity of natural systems - air, land, water and the plants and animals they support - has value that must be protected, conserved and restored for present and future generations.
  • Stewardship of Georgia's natural resources is the responsibility of every individual, organization, government and business.
  • A healthy environment is integral to a healthy economy.
  • In protecting Georgia's natural resources, we must champion the environment while respecting the demands of social and economic progress.
  • Principled advocacy calls for scientifically sound research, clearly defined agendas, inclusive participation, informed environmental education and constructive negotiation.

Vision:

The Georgia Conservancy will lead with education and follow with advocacy as we mobilize a diverse statewide network dedicated to active appreciation and protection of Georgia's natural environment.
