Seventh Generation Institute is a nonprofit 501(c)3 conservation organization, based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and dedicated to promoting sustainable resource use, biodiversity conservation, ecosystem restoration, and ensuring an optimistic future for the human communities that depend on the natural world. Our guiding philosophy is that effective conservation and sustainable use will only occur with both credible applied science and strong community participation. Applied science enables us to evaluate the effectiveness of our conservation efforts and continuously improve them. It also provides a strong foundation to make informed decisions about stewarding natural resources. 7GI utilizes applied science through adaptive management wherever appropriate. |

| Programs and Projects |
The emphasis on working together with the
community is the second key characteristic
of Seventh Generation Institute. 7GI does
not lobby, litigate, protest, or take
confrontational positions on issues. Instead,
we partner with government agencies at all
levels, user groups, tribes, community
organizations and private landowners to
find win-win alternatives and improve the
stewardship of natural resources.
We carry out our own programs and projects
and we also act as a nonprofit contractor to
communities, agencies, and other
organizations.
