TURNING THE TABLESEcoLogic Development Fund’s mission is to empower rural and indigenous people to restore and protect tropical ecosystems in Central America.

This October, EcoLogic’s unique Turning the Tables benefit dinner returns for its third year!

Turning the Tables will be a one-of-a-kind evening. Imagine a small, intimate conversa-tion over dinner with a brilliant thought leader. Your company is at the table—joining other community leaders, scholars, and philanthro-pists concerned about the world’s future.

The event will feature several small, intimate group conversations over dinner in private dining salons. At each table, an expert in their field will lead a guided conversation on one topic that touches on aspects of EcoLogic’s work at the intersection of conservation, culture, and development. Past experts have included:

• Frances Moore Lappé, Small Planet Institute• Bud Ris, Former President & CEO of the New England Aquarium• Vilas Dhar, Next Mile Project• Rebecca Adamson, First Peoples Worldwide• Nish Acharya, Citizence

EcoLogic Development FundEcoLogic works with rural communities in to help them become better environmental stewards in order to conserve forests and water and improve people’s living conditions. Focusing on communities where poverty is extreme, we foster a truly sustainable kind of development—one where protecting nature and addressing human needs are mutually reinforcing.

Since being founded in 1993, EcoLogic and our local partners have strengthened community participation in conservation in 687 communities, established sustainable management in over two million hectares of critical forest and marine areas, and protected over 1,200 water sources.

Our programs place a priority on local participation and leadership development, not only because it’s socially just, but because it’s essential for the effective, long-term conservation of threatened and unique ecosystems. To carry out this strategy, we partner with local organizations that reflect the values and interests of the communities they serve. This approach allows us to adapt our work to local contexts while promoting long-term sustainability and social change.

As a sponsor of our annual benefit, you can feel secure that your investment will be used to help EcoLogic fulfill its mission.
