The Sonoran Institute's mission is to connect people and communities with the natural resources that nourish and sustain them. We work at the nexus of commerce, community, and conservation to help people in the North American West build the communities they want to live in while preserving the values which brought them here. We envision a West where civil dialogue and collaboration are hallmarks of decision making, where people and wildlife live in harmony, and where clean water, air, and energy are assured.We are optimists. Despite the challenges facing the West, the Sonoran Institute believes that our region can experience sustained prosperity and a renewed sense of community stewardship. How will we accomplish this? Through civil dialogue and collaboration that goes beyond today's divisive political environment.Imagine a future where wildlife thrives, scenic vistas are preserved and water is abundant. A future where communities have access to clean, safe and reliable sources of energy, where transportation systems improve livability and enhance economic prosperity, and development integrates open space and multiple uses.These are the hallmarks of successful communities. We see the communities of the West contributing to the vibrant economy of the region and ultimately, to a future we can all embrace.The Sonoran Institute, Shaping the Future of the West
