Our Wild World

As the rise in demand for natural resources continues to pressure our ability to provide for our increased human population, what will happen to our protected areas? Where will wildlife go? Our dependence upon fossil fuels and traditional energy models is crashing headlong into our conservation model. We have severely affected our oceans, our land use, and our wildlife- our refuges, public lands and seas. In Africa, as an emerging global commerce, this demand for resources is affecting many of our last remaining large landscape and migratory wildlife populations We, as individuals, our combined governments and NGOs of both national and international Aid organizations, have a responsibility to shift the paradigm of how we define our wealth and health- from that of what’s in our wallet to what’s on our planet.
