“I am working to make sure we don’t only protect the environment, we also improve governance.”
— Wangari Maathai
How a society perceives air, water, land, and ecosystems directly affects its social and economic well being. It also determines how a community approaches environmental conservation.
At CDR we help diverse interests from public entities,the private sector, and civil society balance competing needs for natural resources. By working together, we develop cooperative solutions to complex scientific and socioeconomic problems. These mutually beneficial results provide both quick relief and long-term sustainability.
