The group is known for its partnerships with local non-governmental organizations and indigenous peoples, demonstrating that human societies are able to live harmoniously with nature. This mission is based around three guiding principles of cutting-edge science, comprehensive partnerships, and concern for human well-being. Since 1987, CI have conserved over 143 million terrestrial acres and 80 million acres of marine area. The Society for Environmental Exploration (SEE) The Society is a non-profit making company limited by guarantee and was formed in 1989.
