Illahee began as a forum for science-based, policy-relevant environmental inquiry.  We’re unusual in that we’re more exploratory than most nonprofits.  We value questions and innovation above dogmatic pre-determined answers.  We’ve found that this open-ended exploratory worldview has struck a nerve with a significant segment of the region’s citizens.  Our focus is environmental issues, but environment is so interconnected with society, economics and culture, that we have to reach beyond environment when we explore issues.  While our core mission is inquiry, the result has been a better-informed public that feels a sense of community and direction.
