Friends of Confluence West –
Why donate? It’s all about the elephant.
Remember the parable about the challenge the three blind men had describing the elephant because they had their hands on a different part? Yet, each of them had a piece of the truth. They created the whole truth by bringing all their perspectives and ideas together.
We know that climate ‘weirding’ in the American West brings blow after blow to our water supply, health, economy, communities, and ecosystems. What’s missing is the connector between all of these sectors.
That’s Confluence West. Our focus is on the whole elephant.
What we’ve learned over the past 14 years is this: Long-term, equitable solutions require all of the terrific, dedicated people from every sector, issue area, perspective, expertise, and culture to bring their part of the elephant, their truth, to build a resilient and healthy world for all.
Our approach has paid off with ground-breaking, innovative work from the Middle Rio Grande to Salt Lake City to the Willamette River.
That’s our job at Confluence West – to “cross-fertilize” ideas and solutions, to bring the best science to the table, and to spread successful approaches from one community or agency to others.
Please donate and support this work. Thank you!
For the West,
Kimery
