For more than four decades, PERC has advanced a different approach to environmentalism that harnesses property rights, markets, and innovation to encourage environmental stewardship. Along the way, PERC has gone from being a voice in the Montana wilderness to becoming a leader in the world of environmental policy and conservation practice. This issue of PERC Reports provides a glimpse of the broader reach of PERC’s programs. It features the work of several past and present fellows and shows how their ideas are informing and shaping some of today’s most pressing environmental issues.
