The International Arid Lands Consortium (IALC) strives to be the acknowledged leading international organization supporting ecological sustainability of arid and semiarid lands.
The IALC works to achieve research and development, educational and training initiatives, demonstration projects, workshops, and other technology-transfer activities applied to the development, management, restoration, and reclamation of arid and semiarid lands in the U.S., the Middle East, and elsewhere in the world. All activities are supported by the IALC's Member Institutions through their ongoing applied research aimed at sustaining arid and semiarid land ecological systems, implicitly including humankind.
In pursuit of its vision, the IALC adheres to these guiding principles:
• Use an ecological approach to multiple-use management and sustainable use of arid and semiarid lands;
• Use the best scientific knowledge in developing and recommending appropriate technologies for the management of arid and semiarid lands;
• Strive for quality and excellence in everything done and be sensitive to the effects of our recommendations on resources, people, and nations;
• Form collaborative partnerships to achieve shared goals of the IALC Member Institutions;
• Recognize that some conflict exists in humankind and strives to deal with it in a professional manner;
• Maintain the highest professional and ethical standards.
