Integrative solutions seek the well-being of ecosystems and the diverse species within them while also promoting equitable social systems and sustainable practices that enhance human health and well-being. Finally, integrative solutions promote the rights, sovereignty and self-determination, and cultural heritage of diverse human communities. Integrative solutions seek to engage diverse perspectives on understanding biodiversity loss and on developing and implementing solution options.

The mission of the Institute of Integrative Conservation (IIC) is to empower an inclusive community of thought leaders to create and deliver timely, innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing conservation challenges. We achieve this mission by:
