The chicken vs the proverbial egg... needing funding to fly in order to provide funding to nest. With the start of the financial year looming, and my first year working in a not-for-profit organisation, the budget process is an interesting time. Funding what we do is an ongoing challenge, with a constant chorus of "conservation doesn't pay" being heard from far and wide. We want to turn that noise on it's head, and whilst running an operationally lean and smart organisation, we also want to become a "must-do" experience for visitors both domestically and internationally. In order to deliver on our big hairy audacious goals #internationallyrecognisednationallycherished we need funding. We are at the start of a huge journey and would ideally like to secure partners that can both 'teach us to fish' and help fund/fundraise some of our work programmes, like education, kiwi translocation. predator monitoring and fence maintenance. So... if you are keen to help us out, or know someone that might be keen, then get in touch. We have registered with MyGivingCircle for those that wish to donate or vote, every action helps!

1. Envision a future where wild animals exist solely in internet searches or cartoons. Is this the legacy we want to leave? 2. Do you aspire to pass on a future where our grandchildren can revel in the same natural beauty that enriched our own lives? Fortunately, there is hope, and many initiatives are underway across the planet to conserve forests. One noteworthy initiative – Heartha, has been actively making a difference in Western Ghats. Support us in bringing hope back to our forests and the indigenous tribal communities that coexist! Contribute - We’re initiating Phase I of a fundraising campaign aimed at gathering INR 1,10,000. This will facilitate the relocation of the forest caretaker from his current townhouse (30 minutes away) to a living space within the private forest (for better impact). Our plan involves establishing a foundation for our Forest Sanctuary House, installing compost toilets and a shower unit, and implementing “slope to step” techniques on the forest terrain. We are also procuring a small solar panel with a battery and inverter kit, needed for Internet & Laptop to launch a crowdfunding campaign.

Why We Give Back: The Story Behind Our 1% for the Planet Commitment 🌿 At Afraceuticals, we believe that business can—and should—be a force for good. That’s why we’re proud to commit 1% of our annual turnover to projects that help replenish the earth’s resources through the 1% for the Planet initiative. So, what inspired us to take this bold step? For our founders, Dane and Che'-Lee, it all started with a book: "Let My People Go Surfing" by Yvon Chouinard, founder of #Patagonia. This powerful read ignited a passion in them to do more for the planet, and it made one thing clear—giving back isn’t just an option, it’s a responsibility. The 1% for the Planet model is simple: donate 1% of your revenue, no excuses, to environmental sustainability via a trusted network of #nonprofits. As Dane says, “It’s tough, but it’s necessary. It’s our way of tithing to the planet.” Beyond financial support, it’s about being part of a global community of like-minded businesses and individuals who share a commitment to sustainability. Together, we’re helping to protect #biodiversity, preserve #ecosystems, and ensure future generations can thrive. This commitment is woven into everything we do, from sourcing our medicinal plants sustainably to supporting #conservation projects like our Bearded Vulture Conservation Project. 🌍💚 Thank you for joining us on this journey and for supporting our mission to give back to the planet. • • #pelargonium #pelargoniumsidoides #wildlifeconservation #rewild #greenintiative #ourplanet #ESGforwildlife #Sustainability Indlovu Aerial Trust Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife 1% for the Planet Dane Poulsen Che'-Lee Parker

🌿 Rising from the Ashes: Reawakening Australia's Rainforests 🌿 Once upon a time, Australia’s rainforests were vast and teeming with life, but today they stand fragile and endangered. At Foundation & Friends, we have been passionately working to preserve these vital ecosystems through the Rainforest Seed Conservation Project. Since 2008, we've been safeguarding the genetic heritage of our rainforests, storing seeds at sub-zero temperatures to ensure their survival against extinction. With the unwavering support of our donors, we’ve expanded our efforts to include living collections and cryopreservation for species that need special care. Our collaboration with the Research Centre for Ecosystem Resilience (ReCER) has been instrumental, allowing us to conduct genetic analyses that maintain diversity and identify resilient individuals. Together, we've equipped laboratories and propelled crucial research forward. Professor Maurizio Rossetto, Head of ReCER, shares, "Your donations have equipped our labs to analyse tens of thousands of rainforest plants. With your continued support, we can produce genetically diverse seeds for the Big Scrub Rainforest Conservancy, aiding in the restoration of resilient rainforests." As we continue this important work, we invite you to join us in our mission. Learn more about our Rainforest Revival & Survival Appeal and consider donating to help us safeguard the future of these vital ecosystems. 🌱 #RainforestConservation #SaveOurForests #EnvironmentalImpact #Sustainability #Biodiversity #ClimateAction #FoundationAndFriends #ReCER #BigScrubRainforest #AustraliaRainforests #Conservation #SupportResearch https://lnkd.in/g2yyVD42

Happy Saturday LinkedIn! As the summer season winds down, Indigo Permaculture Ecosystems Resilience Model (PERM) is gearing up to restore and preserve the vibrant ecosystem at Madison Lakes. Our upcoming conservation efforts will focus on sustaining the health of this precious natural resource and fostering community involvement. Here's how we'll be making an impact: 🧹 Shoreline Cleanup: We’ll be removing trash, invasive plants, and debris that have accumulated over the summer to maintain a thriving aquatic and riparian environment. A clean shoreline supports healthier water quality and habitats for local wildlife! 🐸 Wildlife Monitoring and Data Collection: We'll conduct population surveys of fish, birds, and other wildlife to track their health, monitor migration patterns, and measure breeding success throughout the season. These insights help us protect biodiversity and improve conservation strategies. 🌍 Education and Community Outreach: Knowledge is power! We’ll be hosting an educational workshop and guided nature walk, encouraging the local community to take an active role in lake conservation and sustainable water use. Together, we can make a lasting impact by understanding how to care for our environment in every season. 💧 We Need Your Help!

It's been a challenging few years for our planet. Extreme weather events, wildfires, deforestation - the signs of climate change are all around us. But there is hope. By planting trees, we can make a real difference in the fight against climate change. That's why our organization is launching a new initiative to plant 2 million #trees in #Indonesia this year. Indonesia has the third largest area of rainforest in the world, but extensive deforestation has led to devastating impacts. Replanting trees will help absorb #carbondioxide, provide habitat for #wildlife, prevent soil erosion, and protect local communities. We need your help. Planting 2 million trees is a massive undertaking, but we know it can be done if we all work together. For new donors, this is the perfect way to get involved and become part of the solution. Even a small monthly donation can lead to big results over time. Imagine a future where Indonesian rainforests are thriving again thanks to our efforts. Where endangered species have had their habitats restored, and communities are more resilient. This inspiring vision can become a reality, tree by #trees4trees. The time to act is now! Our planet needs you. When you support our tree planting initiative as a new donor, you are choosing to be part of the movement towards a greener, healthier world. You are telling the next generation that you cared enough to make a difference. Join us trees4trees.org and plant hope today. With your help, we can bring back the forests of Indonesia - one sapling at a time. #SaveTheWorld #SaveThePlanet #ClimateAction #Sustainability #ImpactInvesting #CorporateSocialResponsibility #ESG #DonorsWelcome #MakingADifference #IndonesiaHijau #LindungiHutanKita #TebarMaknaTanamPohon #Reforestation #TreesForTheFuture #PlantATree #Forestry #Deforestation #JoinUs #GetInvolved #DonateToday #BeTheChange #linkunganhidup
