You are at the threshold of change. The environmental challenges are real. The time to meet them is now. And the keys are dialogue, collaboration, shared problem-solving, and action. The Institute at the Golden Gate—a new institute embodying these solutions for a healthy planet—connects scientists, policy makers, youth activists, nonprofit and business leaders, and people like you. We invite you—and your organization—to join us.

The Institute at the Golden Gate proudly presents, in collaboration with Conservation International, the ongoing lecture series: "Head in the Sky, Feet in the Mud: Conversations with Eco-Innovators". Begun on September 18, 2008, and continuing into the summer of 2009, the lecture series delves into environmental challenges faced throughout the world, looking into societies from Costa Rica to China.
