Through Education for Conservation today, we invest in tomorrow’s custodians. We empower students with knowledge and opportunity and cultivate a deep-seeded passion for wildlife and wild places. We deliver locally relevant, fun and engaging programs for children in Kenya and Australia, and provide opportunity to put their knowledge into practice and to share their experiences with global classmates.
In Kenya, in the Masaai communities bordering significant wildlife areas, we assist with educational resources for students most in need. However it is our suite of Education for Conservation activities and deliverables such as in class lessons, field trips and the building of environmental libraries that we are really helping people and planet.
In Australia, our unique global ‘twinning’ program connects Aussie students with students from Kenya, who are wanting to achieve their own local environmental goals whilst also ‘paying it forward’ to help their Kenyan classmates. In Australia we tailor make programs for students from Prep to Year 12, concentrating on two main themes: Conservation Action in the Urban Environment (with a particular focus on creating habitat for wildlife, koala conservation and sustainable living); and Good Global Citizens and Cultural Awareness (looking at different ways of life, different environmental challenges, what are the synergies and how can we all contribute to our global community and shared planet).
