We do this in a bottom-up fashion by hiring local staff to work in the states and provinces of the region, who work with government and communities to create conservation programs and new protected areas, and building the local capacity to manage and sustain them. While emphasizing the conservation of forests and ecosystems, NCIs programs also promote community sustainable development. 257375 232459 (Environmental Policy, Education and Community Development) NCI develops and implements environmental policies that support land and resource conservation in a sustainable fashion. These programs address policy issues and economic incentives and disincentives, and work to implement ecosystem service payment programs. Examples include our work to create sustainable resource use, local green products, and the creation of water funds that create ecosystem service payments systems and channel them to effective watershed conservation programs. NCI also provides environmental education programs and works to develop the communities in Ecuador, Mexico, and Peru, including classroom materials, nature festivals, programs and teacher workshops. 13330 3272 (Science) NCI carries out scientific research that support our mission to conserve lands and ecosystem in concert with local peoples. We also operate the San Francisco Scientific Field Station in Ecuador, that serves international and Ecuadorian universities that conduct over basic and applied science research projects in tropical mountain ecology. 3980113 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true true false false true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 8 0 true 8 true false false true OC false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false X 11 11 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false X X X Nature and Culture Intl 8582590374 1400 Maiden Lane Del Mar CA 92014 Ivan Gayler Chairm Emeritus 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 David Welborn Chairman 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Matthew Clark President & CEO 40.00 0.00 X X 97500 0 0 Bob Burgin Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Charles Smith Vice Chair 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sheldon Engelhorn Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ann Hunter Welborn Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Edward O Wilson Honorary Board 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sue Hart Secretary 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 John Gartman Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 David Neill Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Marcia Angle Director 15.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jane Goodall Honorary Board 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Anthony Broad Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Renzo Paladines Vice President 40.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 97500 0 false false false 0 5362962 1002123 5362962 Other income 49719 49719 Visitor fees 77702 77702 127421 17815 17815 0 0 0 59798 59798 59798 59798 0 0 0 0 5567996 205034 0 0 1311721 1311721 0 183339 183339 0 1284795 905669 205966 173160 0 39404 23953 9559 5892 120760 85503 21059 14198 469693 468527 1166 44350 15108 29242 0 0 0 0 169862 22848 124864 22150 66816 41297 9938 15581 135308 110624 24586 98 0 0 57908 54624 3284 480905 456967 22524 1414 0 0 0 0 29348 29348 28863 19760 9103 Supplies (Field Materials) 115183 115100 83 Auto 108986 108012 974 Publicity 24970 24761 209 Dining & Events 12077 2952 2520 6605 0 4684288 3980113 465077 239098 635441 1877034 1051582 1498166 0 318100 522401 0 0 0 0 38082 24243 3027529 347356 2776522 2680173 0 0 0 0 0 4819727 6602017 297216 313065 887174 1889907 150000 30000 1334390 2232972 X 1927433 2984601 707904 534444 850000 850000 3485337 4369045 4819727 6602017 883708 X false true X true false X 5527398 5379512 5652075 4901708 5440664 26901357 0 0 5527398 5379512 5652075 4901708 5440664 26901357 7616334 19285023 4031 8603 43 442 17815 30934 0 13250 13250 26945541 0.71570 0.78140 X 2360373 2360373 272316 77898 194418 6242 6242 352785 241249 111536 35813 21967 13846 2680173 X 5567996 5567996 5567996 4684288 4684288 4684288 Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Organization recognizes and measures its uncertain tax positions in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740, Income Taxes. This addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under FASB ASC 740, the Organization may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.FASB ASC 740, also provides guidance on the de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. As of December 31, 2018, the Organization does not have a liability for unrecognized tax uncertainties. The Organization's policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as income tax expense. As of December 31, 2018, the Organization has no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Organization is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions. However, currently no audits for any tax periods are in progress. Management believes that the Organization is no longer subject to income examination for years prior to December 31, 2015. true North America 1 9 Grants 237461 South America 12 166 Grants 1049260 South America 0 0 Program Services Conserv/Mgt of Area 2534847 South America 0 0 Program Services Science 13330 South America 0 0 Program Services Community Development 45545 South America 0 0 Program Services Education and Policy 211830 13 175 13 175 4092273 4092273 North America Conserv/Mgmt 224945 Wire South America Conserv/Mgmt 496184 Wire 2 false false false false false false Part I, Line 2 - Grantmakers Explanation For Monitoring Use of Funds Outside US Nature and Culture International requires all grant recipients to submit complete narrative and financial reports to account for all funds granted. 1 3743 FMV X 4 935632 Selling Price Land 1 60236 FMV Food 1 2512 FMV false false false Form 990, Part VI, Line 2: Description of Business or Family Relationship of Officers, Directors, Et The following Board Members are family members to each other:David & Ann WelbornThe following Officers and Board Members have a business relationship:Bob Burgin and Charles SmithBob Burgin and Jane Goodall Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process Reviewed by Board Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c: Explanation of Monitoring and Enforcement of Conflicts The Board is asked regularly to discuss their business and personal interests to determine if there are potential conflicts and all transactions of the organizations are reviewed for any potential conflict of interest before the transactions are consumated.
