Introduction
It is our goal to ensure that all our projects uphold our organizations core values. Whereby we are guided by our core values and principles.
In everything, we do, we try to uphold the highest standards of sustainability, including minimizing our ecological footprint, by for example limiting international air travel and the use of four-wheel drive vehicles.
We try to maximize project efficiency by spending a maximum of 10% of the organization's budget on overhead, so 90% of funds go to implementation. Additionally, all board members work on a voluntary basis.
Making people more aware of the world's remaining biodiversity hotspots and the importance of preserving these areas.
Instead of bringing in "foreign expertise", we prioritize capacitating local talented and passionate individuals and organizations, and help them expand their impact.
No need to reinvent the wheel, but instead make use of the wisdom and knowledge of locals and especially indigenous people.
The rights of indigenous and local people living in and around key biodiversity areas need to be respected, and valued and they always need to be a focal point of any conservation project.
Always plan and design projects to maximize long-term success.
