Announcing the 2012 Summer Environmental Exchange:

The Summer Environmental Exchange is a 9-week long, environmental exchange program for undergraduate, graduate, and young professional participants from North America, Russia, Mongolia, and other countries throughout the world.  Participants will spend the summer at the watersheds of Lake Baikal in Russia and Mongolia, and Lake Tahoe in California and Nevada, meeting with top scientists and environmental policy-makers, developing and presenting research projects, and conducting ecological restoration work. Click here for more details and to access all application materials for the 2012 Summer Environmental Exchange Program.

Our Mission:

Established in 1990, the Tahoe-Baikal Institute (TBI) fosters a future where sustainable communities thrive in concert with their environment by connecting passionate young leaders with inspiring, place-based watershed education in two of the world's premier freshwater ecosystems: Lake Tahoe in the Sierra Nevada and Lake Baikal in southern Siberia.

In this endeavor the Institute develops community leaders, resource professionals, and environmental stewards across the intersections of watershed education, protection & restoration, research, policy, sustainable economic development, environmental technology transfer, and cultural understanding.
