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 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. We utilize applied science in the form of adaptive management wherever appropriate. |

The emphasis on working together with the
community is the second key characteristic
of Seventh Generation Institute. We do 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.
