About Us

Since 1993, EcoLogic and its partners have advanced conservation of critical natural resources in rural areas of Latin America by promoting sustainable livelihoods that affirm local cultures and by strengthening community participation in natural resource management.

By linking environmental stewardship and economic development, we positively impact threatened habitats as well as human well-being. The key to EcoLogic’s success is our partners, rural and indigenous-led organizations that reflect the values of their communities. To date, EcoLogic has provided direct assistance to more than 5,000 rural communities who serve as stewards to over 6 million acres of ecologically rich habitat in Latin America.

EcoLogic believes in the power of good governance. We exercise transparency in our actions and through detailed strategic planning and evaluative processes. We work continually to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of our organization. Likewise, we support our partners' organizational capacity building with technical assistance in project management and evaluation, strategic planning, board and staff development, and fundraising.

Our decisions and interactions are guided by:

  • Respect and deep regard for the environment
  • Appreciation for cultural and ethnic diversity, traditions, and beliefs
  • Commitment to reinforcing community participation and self-determination
  • Creation of a positive working environment that nurtures our talents and the ones of those we serve
