Mission

THE INSTITUTE'S MISSION IS TO RESEARCH, DEVELOP, PRACTICE, AND DISSEMINATE SUSTAINABLE STRATEGIES AND TECHNIQUES FOR CONSERVING ECOSYSTEMS, AGRICULTURE, AND RURAL COMMUNITIES. THE INSTITUTE WILL ACHIEVE THIS MISSION BY USING ITS LIVESTOCK, LAND, SCALE, AND BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY TO RESEARCH AND DEMONSTRATE HOW RANCHING OPERATIONS CAN MEET ECONOMIC AND PRODUCTION OBJECTIVES WHILE PROTECTING AND ENHANCING NATURAL RESOURCE AND CONSERVATION VALUES OF LARGE LANDSCAPES. IN A BROAD SENSE THIS CONCEPT CAN BE REFERRED TO AS ECOAGRICULTURE, AN EMERGING AREA OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY REGARDING HOW SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE AND RANCHING CAN BE CONDUCTED ACROSS DIVERSE LANDSCAPES WHILE MAINTAINING ECOSYSTEM SERVICES AND INTEGRITY, AND CONTRIBUTING TOWARDS SOLUTIONS FOR LOCAL AND GLOBAL ISSUES (E.G., CLIMATE CHANGE, NATIVE SPECIES AND HABITAT LOSS, ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION, WATER DEPLETION, FOOD PRODUCTION, AND RURAL ECONOMIES) RATHER THAN EXACERBATING THEM. THE INSTITUTE IS CLASSIFIED AS AN AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH ORGANIZATION AND, AS SUCH, IS PRIMARILY ENGAGED IN THE CONTINUOUS ACTIVE CONDUCT OF AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH IN CONJUNCTION WITH LAND GRANT COLLEGES OR UNIVERSITIES OR NON-LAND GRANT COLLEGES OF AGRICULTURE WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 170(B)(1)(A)(IX) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986. THE MISSION OF THE INSTITUTE, AS STATED IN ITS FORM 1023, IS TO RESEARCH, DEVELOP, PRACTICE AND DISSEMINATE SUSTAINABLE STRATEGIES AND TECHNIQUES FOR CONSERVING ECOSYSTEMS, AGRICULTURE, AND RURAL COMMUNITIES. THE INSTITUTE'S CURRENT AND PLANNED CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES INCLUDE SERVING AS A MODEL RESEARCH ORGANIZATION ADVANCING THE PRACTICE OF ECOAGRICULTURE AND CONSERVATION MANAGEMENT; CONDUCTING AND PROMOTING RESEARCH AND EDUCATION WITH RESPECT TO SUSTAINABLE LAND AND WATER USE; AND USING SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND INNOVATIVE MANAGEMENT TO UNDERSTAND AND IMPROVE THE PRODUCTIVITY OF RANGELANDS FOR WILDLIFE DIVERSITY, WATER CONSERVATION, AND LIVESTOCK HEALTH AND PRODUCTION. IN FURTHERANCE OF ITS CHARITABLE MISSION AND ITS CHARITABLE ACTIVITY OF SERVING AS A MODEL RESEARCH ORGANIZATION ADVANCING THE PRACTICE OF ECOAGRICULTURE AND CONSERVATION MANAGEMENT, THE INSTITUTE HAS ADOPTED CERTAIN RULES IN ITS GOVERNING DOCUMENTS DESIGNED TO ENSURE THAT THE LAND OWNED BY THE INSTITUTE IS MANAGED IN AN ECOLOGICALLY-SENSITIVE MANNER (COLLECTIVELY THE "LAND MANAGEMENT RULES"). THROUGHOUT 2024, THE INSTITUTE HAS PARTNERED WITH THE NATURE CONSERVANCY, AN ORGANIZATION WITH EXTENSIVE CONSERVATION EXPERTISE THAT IS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND CLASSIFIED AS A PUBLIC CHARITY, TO SERVE AS A "CONSERVATION GUARDIAN." THE CONSERVATION GUARDIAN OVERSEES THE IMPLEMENTATION OF AND ADHERENCE TO THE LAND MANAGEMENT RULES AND PROVIDES ADVICE AND GUIDANCE TO THE INSTITUTE ON ITS CONSERVATION EFFORTS. THE LAND MANAGEMENT RULES REQUIRE THE INSTITUTE TO SATISFY CERTAIN CRITERIA, ADHERE TO CERTAIN PARAMETERS, AND/OR SEEK THE CONSENT OR APPROVAL OF THE CONSERVATION GUARDIAN BEFORE TAKING CERTAIN ACTIONS RELATING TO LAND OWNED BY THE INSTITUTE. FOR EXAMPLE, ALTERING NATURAL SURFACE WATER FLOWS OR CLEAR CUTTING A FOREST MAY REQUIRES THE CONSENT OF THE CONSERVATION GUARDIAN IF SUCH ACTIONS ARE REASONABLY ANTICIPATED TO HAVE CERTAIN ADVERSE ECOLOGICAL IMPACTS.
