Mission Statement:

Conservation Value Institute (CVI) is a non-profit research and communication think tank that improves public understanding of how environmental solutions benefit our economy, health, security and quality of life.

Philosophy/Belief Statement:

CVI improves public awareness about the benefits of the Green Economy, helping to build strong public support for bold policy solutions.

Founded by a rare conservation scientist and communications expert, CVI serves as a bridge between the science underlying sustainability and citizens and decisionmakers, empowering them to make our world better.

We organize our work around three key programmatic goals:

* Advancing the Green Economy: As our core program, CVI follows hot topics in sustainability, and educates citizens and decision-makers in the ways that Green Economy solutions are immediately relevant to their daily lives.

* Entertainment Industry Partnerships: As opportunities arise, CVI partners with musicians and events to actively involve fans in the Green Economy.

* Sustainable Land Use: Leveraging our expertise in conservation biology and management, CVI champions sustainable land use solutions that make conservation both possible and profitable, protecting the health of our biosphere and human well-being.
