Point Blue's 160 scientists develop nature-based solutions to climate change, habitat loss, and other environmental threats to benefit wildlife and people.
Why Sheldon and Laine Gen Support Point Blue
"I joined the Science Advisory Committee and my wife and I became a supporters because we knew how outstanding the organization’s science work was and I was particularly excited and impressed that they wanted to grow their social science expertise. They understand that conservation is at its core a human behavior. They know that including more diverse civic input is key to increased conservation benefit for wildlife and the diversity of people in our communities. I view policy as an agreement that we enter into as a community or society, whether we have been included in its creation or not. My goal as a public policy scholar is to increase civic engagement in policy so that it better serves everyone. As I spoke with Point Blue’s scientists, I came to see more clearly how environmental conservation is also a type of policy. It encompasses different ways that we agree to restore, protect, and interact with natural ecosystems."
