CURE PROTECTS AND RESTORES RESILIENT COMMUNITIES AND LANDSCAPES BY HARNESSING THE POWER OF PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT THEM. WE DO THIS BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THAT ROBUST HUMAN COMMUNITIES CAN ONLY BE SUSTAINED BY HEALTHY ECOSYSTEMS, AND ROBUST NATURAL ENVIRONMENTS CAN ONLY BE REGAINED THROUGH VIGOROUS STEWARDSHIP. OUR WORK TAKES MANY FORMS, BUT ALWAYS INVOLVES THREE CORE PRACTICES: AWAKENING PEOPLE'S BONDS WITH THE NATURAL WORLD AROUND THEM, INCLUSIVELY AND STRATEGICALLY EXPLORING ISSUES AND ACTIONS, SYSTEMATICALLY BUILDING COMMUNITIES OF CHANGE AT CRITICAL INTERSECTIONS OF ECOLOGICAL AND SOCIAL WELL-BEING.
