The mission of The Karst Conservancy is to preserve the unique geological, hydrological, biological, cultural, and recreational resources associated with karst
by permanently protecting karst lands in the Untied States.
As we work toward our mission, we are guided by the set of values listed below.
Focus on Mission
Our mission is to permanently protect karst and we focus only on projects and programs that advance our mission. We operate strictly from our mission so that we can concentrate our limited
resources on it. All decisions and programs must be evaluated against it. Other organizations exist that are better suited to operate outside of our mission and we can’t allocate
resources to a project that another organization might be better equipped to handle.
Entrepreneurial Approach
The Karst Conservancy takes an entrepreneurial and innovative approach to running our business. We explore ways to generate income from our properties while minimizing the environmental
impact.
Financial Commitment
Because land is expensive, our programs are some of the most expensive to implement in the nonprofit world. Everyone involved with our organization is expected to financially support
The Karst Conservancy. Those on the board of directors are expected to set the best example.
Non Political
The Karst Conservancy promotes private conservation, a voluntary, non-confrontational approach to conserving natural resources. We work within the private sector using free market tools
to permanently preserve karst land. We must be seen as a neutral entity in order to work effectively with landowners, developers, and government bodies. Therefore, political action is
outside the focus of our mission.
Integrity
Tell the truth, always. Hide nothing. Avoid conflicts of interest.
