Partners
A global network of organizations working together to strengthen the understanding, conservation, restoration, and stewardship of springs and spring-dependent ecosystems.
Stronger together for springs.
Global Springs Alliance Partners are organizations that share a commitment to springs and choose to contribute their knowledge, experience, networks, and perspectives to a broader global community. Partnership is more than a logo on a webpage. It is an invitation to connect, collaborate, learn from one another, and help build a stronger collective voice for springs.

Our community is growing across regions and sectors. We welcome organizations from around the world that share the Alliance's commitment to springs.
Be part of a global community for springs.
Important work on springs is happening around the world, but too often it happens in isolation. The Alliance helps connect organizations across regions, disciplines, and sectors so knowledge, opportunities, and successful approaches can travel farther.
Partners remain fully independent. The Alliance exists to strengthen and amplify their work, not replace it.
Connection without unnecessary burden.
Connect & collaborate
Find peers, expertise, collaborators, and potential partners across regions and disciplines.
Learn & share
Exchange knowledge, tools, experience, research, and lessons learned with a growing global community.
Amplify your work
Increase visibility for springs conservation, partner achievements, opportunities, and stories through Alliance networks.
Shape initiatives
Help identify priorities and participate in Alliance initiatives, working groups, and collaborative projects where relevant.
Find opportunities
Share and discover opportunities for collaboration, capacity building, technical support, and conservation funding.
Build a collective voice
Help elevate springs within conservation, freshwater, groundwater, climate, and biodiversity conversations worldwide.
A shared commitment, not a membership burden.
Partnership is intended to be active but flexible. We recognize that organizations vary greatly in size, capacity, geography, and mission. There are no dues or minimum participation requirements at this stage. We ask partners to engage where their work and capacity allow.
Share the mission
Support the understanding, conservation, restoration, or sustainable stewardship of springs and spring-dependent ecosystems.
Contribute knowledge
Share experience, information, tools, or lessons where appropriate and consistent with data sovereignty and organizational policies.
Collaborate
Look for opportunities to work across organizations and regions rather than unnecessarily duplicating existing efforts.
Strengthen the community
Help foster an inclusive, respectful, scientifically credible, and globally representative network.
Participate when relevant
Engage in Alliance initiatives, working groups, events, or opportunities when they align with organizational priorities and capacity.
Elevate springs
Help strengthen the collective visibility and impact of springs conservation locally, regionally, and globally.
Organizations advancing springs conservation—or helping make it possible.
Partners may include conservation organizations, Indigenous Peoples' and community-based organizations, research institutions and universities, government agencies and protected-area authorities, zoos and aquariums, foundations, professional associations, private-sector partners, and other institutions contributing to springs conservation.
Bring your organization into the global springs community.
Is your organization working to understand, protect, restore, manage, or advocate for springs, groundwater-dependent ecosystems, freshwater biodiversity, or the communities that depend on them?
Partnership is currently free. Applications are reviewed to ensure alignment with the Alliance's mission and principles.
