Mission

The Sonoran Institute's mission is to connect people and communities with the natural resources that nourish and sustain them.

What We Do

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.
