Our Purpose
We have to ask ourselves if we all had access to quality education and medical care, would this make us better at protecting and sustaining our planet? In brief, yes it would!
If a woman had access to a family planning clinic, she could take control of her reproductive health, deciding on if and when to have children. This in turn means fewer unplanned births leading to fewer humans on an already overpopulated planet, leading to a more sustainable use of our natural resources.
If all children had access to quality education, they, in turn, will be better informed, be presented with better opportunities, leading to a more sustainable use of our natural resources.
If everyone had access to free and good quality healthcare and education, families and individuals would have more time and less stress, meaning they would be able to focus on their future, instead of worrying about today, you give people the chance to think of tomorrow, and you have guessed it…. Leading to a more sustainable use of our natural resources.
Our Purpose is to;
- Protect vital ecosystems and wildlife in places that are directly impacted by people.
- Support communities living adjacent to wildlife by funding vital services.
- Strengthen both our work and other initiative's impact through collaborations and partnerships.
- Restore degraded environments to their original wildness.
- Educate and increase awareness of the importance of the environment through partnerships, programmes and providing training to communities.
- Promote sustainable living through development projects and practices.
"Many of the global health challenges that we face today, including infectious diseases, malnutrition and noncommunicable diseases are all linked to the decline of biodiversity and ecosystems."
