Organization's Homepage

The mission of the Institute for Culture and Ecology is to conduct participatory research and on-the-ground actions that foster resilient livelihoods, communities, and ecosystems. We collaborate with communities, managers, policymakers, and other stakeholders to develop and apply the social science understanding needed to craft viable environmental polices and programs.

IFCAE's programs fall in several broad areas: participatory learning; looking at how power societies shapes interactions with the environment; and systems of stewardship and sustainability.
