The Georgia Conservancy's Mission, Guiding Principles
and Vision back
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.
