CERS draws from the collective experience of a select and dedicated Board of Directors drawn from diverse sectors of our community. These individuals are all person of high integrity, are successful in each of their respective professions and in civic or public service. Together, they provide guidance and policy direction, including internal governance and external outreach, to the organization.

CERS’ vision is to become a model for equitable conservation, complementing sustainable development in the 21st Century. Pilot projects we undertake, though geographically located in China, should allow for replication or serve as case studies for other parts of the world. The spirit of exploration, exemplified by our innovative approach to answering the problems we encounter, permeates all aspects of our organization. It is this spirit, inherent to all mankind, which CERS seeks to perpetuate.
