About Kinship

Raising the bar on leadership.

Our Mission

To develop a community of leaders dedicated to collaborative approaches to environmental issues with an emphasis on market-based principles.


Our Vision

Kinship Conservation Fellows will continue to grow as a world-class conservation leadership program. It will provide practical, hands-on instruction in market-based approaches and business principles to select groups of high potential individuals who seek to hone their leadership abilities.

We envision that Kinship will appeal to mid-career practitioners, who are open to new ideas, who seek real tools to enhance their efforts to implement workable solutions to environmental problems, and who have demonstrated a commitment to the field of conservation. We further envision that, as Kinship develops, it will be known for its thriving network of conservation leaders dedicated and committed to the field.


Our primary focus is to explore innovative market-based approaches to environmental issues. We welcome practitioners who are open to new ideas and who seek real tools to use in their quest to implement effective solutions to environmental problems. leaf
