 The mission of the San Luis Valley Ecosystem Council
(SLVEC) is to protect and restore—through research,
education, and advocacy—the biological diversity,
ecosystems, and natural resources of the Upper Rio
Grande bioregion, balancing ecological values and human
needs.
Through education, stewardship practices, community
investment and public policy advocacy efforts, SLVEC
fosters understanding
of complex ecosystems and the constructive interplay
between human cultures and the natural world. SLVEC
embraces and promotes the preservation of beauty,
biodiversity and the health of the San Luis Valley
and upper Rio
Grande
region.
Currently, SLVEC helps organize over 200 volunteers
involved in different working groups. The mailing
list consists
of over 4,400 individuals.
