This work takes time and consistent, life-long commitment. As a coalition of business leaders and conservationists, we feel an acute urgency to demonstrate our sincerity through our actions. Yet, we understand that meaningful and lasting change begins with gaining clarity and alignment on our intended outcomes and how to get there. We strive for a blend of humility, patience, and determination as we work to transform ourselves, shift our culture, build upon our 37-year organizational history, and connect with networks and communities who have not been part of our alliance in the past. We know that our vision and path forward will evolve, and we commit to being transparent in both our mistakes and successes. We welcome the guidance and feedback of our members, grantees, supporters, and those we have yet to meet. We’ll have made meaningful progress when we share ownership of our mission with our partners and communities, broaden access to decision-making power over funding and project priorities, and when we expand and diversify access to our financial resources and political clout. This will require an ongoing practice of evaluating and letting go of existing beliefs, processes, and control, and reimagining what conservation and being a conservationist truly mean.
