What we’re about
Founded in 1973, the Idaho Conservation League is Idaho’s leading voice for conservation. We are a statewide conservation organization devoted to protecting Idaho’s environment.
Mission & Vision
ICL's Mission
ICL’s mission is to create a conservation community and pragmatic, enduring solutions that protect and restore the air you breathe, the water you drink, and the land and wildlife you love.
ICL’s Vision
Our vision is an Idaho where public lands remain public and are well managed, air is clean, lakes and rivers are healthy, fish and wildlife thrive, and a prosperous, sustainable future exists for all Idahoans.

Building a Just, Equitable, Diverse and Inclusive Conservation Movement
ICL is committed to doing conservation work in an equitable and just way. Clean water, clean air, public lands, and abundant fish and wildlife should be accessible to everyone. Our long-term goal is to broaden our work to better serve the diversity of people our work connects to, particularly those populations with traditionally underrepresented voices or marginalized communities.
We will listen and learn about the issues that matter to communities from all regions of Idaho and seek out opportunities to work together. Diverse opinions, ideas, and perspectives will make ICL’s work better, as it will reflect thinking from all corners of Idaho. We are determined to engage a wide swath of Idahoans in our work, including but not limited to people from varying races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, genders, and economic and cultural backgrounds. We will be a catalyst for creating a more diverse, just, and prosperous community in Idaho and the many other areas our work extends into.
