Specialties

ECOLIFE’s core mission is to provide ecologically sustainable water, food, and shelter to communities through education and applied programs. Our approach to conservation and humanitarian work is holistic — we are dedicated to resolving conflicts between conservation needs and community needs. ECOLIFE believes that there is still space and resources for all people and wildlife that hold this fragile web of life in place. We believe conservative use of our resources will allow more people to improve their quality of life, better manage family sizes and ultimately allow us to live in greater harmony.
