Outreach

See individual outreach programs for more detail.


ENDANGERED MONARCHS | Saving endangered Monarch butterflies by halting illegal logging in central Mexico. The loss of this biological phenomena will also mean the loss of a way of life for poor communities (ejidos) of indigenous peoples, and cost millions of dollars in lost income from national and international tourists who visit annually. This is a both an ecological and humanitarian crisis.

SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE | Producing locally grown food for cities, through farmland preservation, free-market solutions, and sustainable agriculture education. New Jersey is the most densely populated state. For this reason, we glimpse the future of the United States, given population growth. What happens in the Garden State today, is a model for urban areas around the US over the next 10-30 years.

WATERSHED CONSERVATION | Conserving Southern California's water through pollution cleanup, rainwater collection, and education outreach. As Southern California's population continues to grow, increasing demands are made upon the primary source of water for the region, the Colorado River. Education and conservation are critical to restoring balance.

SAFE EDUCATION | Creating effective future environmental stewardship by educating a generation of Kenyan school children. We believe schoolchildren are Africa's hope for a sustainable future. If children begin to understand their connection to the ecosystem, they will grow to become effective environmental stewards, breaking Africa's cycle of poverty and depletion. Science education is essential.
