The Catalina Island Conservancy (Conservancy), an independent, California
501(c)(3) non-profit organization, was formed in 1972 to protect and restore
the natural and cultural resources of Santa Catalina Island and to make them
available for public recreation, education, and enjoyment. The protected
lands of the Conservancy amount to approximately 42,000 acres, 88% of the
Island. The Conservancys mission is to be a responsible steward of its land
through a balance of conservation, education, and recreation. The
organization takes this balance as both an obligation and an opportunity its
science, restoration, education, and outreach activities can and do serve as a
model for the conservation of protected lands worldwide in the context of
human use. As a living laboratory, Catalina Island and the restoration
work of the Conservancy represent one of the largest, most diverse
landscape-level scientific experiments being conducted in community-based
conservation in the nation.
