What We Do

EcoLogic conserves unique landscapes by putting poor, rural communities in charge of managing local natural resources and helping them become better environmental stewards. To achieve this aim, we:

• strengthen community leadership to care for the environment at the local level;
• provide technical and financial assistance to communities and local organizations; and
• bridge local initiatives with national and international resources.

Our efforts are focused on four core initiatives:

• Water resource management, for the protection of drinking water sources and marine habitats;
• Forest conservation, through improved management, reforestation, and reduced consumption of firewood;
• Payment for environmental services, that offers compensation to communities for conserving critical habitats; and
• Sustainable livelihood alternatives, which encourage efficient use of natural resources.
