Our Philosophy
On a flat-earth, natural resources, are in perpetual abundance, bounded only by our ability to seek them out across limitless expanses. Here, markets operate in sustained equilibrium; demand never outstrips supply; and, natural systems remain untrammeled by human endeavor. Such a utopian construct stands in stark contrast to the realities of the earth we occupy. Here, natural resources are limited and randomly distributed within a finite crust.
In keeping pace with growing demand, new sources of commodities and natural resources must be continually developed, often at escalating economic, societal, and ecological costs placing added pressures on clean water, clean air, arable lands and functioning ecological systems. Compound this with the complexities to: 1) exploit ever more problematic conventional resources, 2) achieve compliance with progressively stringent regulatory controls, and 3), develop reliable alternative resources, and the incremental costs to meet accelerating demand becomes increasingly problematic. It is this reality which demands that we seek the most elegant designs and practical policies to harmonize both individual aspirations and societal responsibility for consumption and conservation.
While not insurmountable, the complex technical and ethical challenges we face in achieving optimal utility from our natural resources - not only those of instrumental value, but also those of intrinsic value as well - requires an unwavering commitment to produce practicable long-term solutions.
Kingfisher Natural Resource Management was founded to provide the technical expertise necessary to solve many critical natural resource challenges. Regardless of the project complexity, unique or routine, we focus on our client’s objectives and apply adaptive innovation, sound ethical principles, and determination to produce effective results.
“My mother took us to services at the Episcopal church. Yet she always said that God was not just inside the four walls of a house of worship, but everywhere — in the rising sun over Camelback Mountain in Phoenix, a splash of water along the nearby Salt or Verde rivers, or clouds driving over the Estrella Mountains, south of downtown. I’ve always thought of God in those terms.”
“Sen. Barry Goldwater” (1988)
