It takes an average of 10-40 minutes for a fish to die out of water, and sometimes it can take even longer. Keep in mind that fish (And the vast majority of sea life) feel pain.

Aquatic Life Institute is a 501(c)(3) non-profit focused on reducing the suffering of aquatic animals in the global food system.

Aquatic Life Institute (ALI) was founded in 2019 to address the critical and often overlooked issue of aquatic animal welfare. Recognizing that aquatic animals are the most exploited group of animals worldwide yet remain largely unprotected, ALI set out with a mission to drive systemic change and elevate aquatic animal welfare as a priority in global food systems.

Our theory of change is rooted in the belief that by influencing key stakeholders and decision makers, advancing policies, and fostering collaboration, we can drive systemic transformation for billions of aquatic animals. 

Building on this foundation, ALI has emerged as a thought leader, advocating for tangible improvements across the seafood supply chain. By engaging with key stakeholders, including corporations, certification schemes, and policymakers, we work to ensure that aquatic animals trapped in the food system receive the attention they deserve in decision-making processes relating to sustainability and food systems. 

ALI’s work is driven by evidence-based strategies and collaboration. This approach has earned ALI widespread recognition, including a 2024 Top Charity recommendation from Animal Charity Evaluators (ACE). This endorsement solidifies ALI’s position as one of the most effective organizations in the world advancing aquatic animal welfare.

Water + Education + Business/Income + Safe Shelter = Building Self Reliant Communities, One Family, One Village at a time . . .

Our latest business initiative in Kenya is Beehives. We have started two apiaries with 25 hives each in two separate villages. The beehives are a long term investment that we expect to pay big dividends in self reliance for these communities. A purchase of 25 Beehives is about a $4000 investment. We received a generous donation from a donor who wishes to remain anonymous. Would you like to be part of the next 25 hives to start another village on the road to self reliance? Make a donation and designate Beehives in your comments. 

The home for Meleon and her children has been completed and on March 27, 2021 her home was blessed by the local minister. Meleon is very grateful for this blessing of a new home made possible for her and her children through your generous donations. Thank You!


Gabriel, Caroline and Emmanuel, 3 of our students live with their widowed mother, Meleon, in this mud hut that has reached the point of collapse. Funding of $500 has been provided. We need to raise an additional $500-$1000 to build a new home with solar lighting and a water tank to store rain water off the roof. This will provide a clean, dry and safe environment with adequate lighting to do studies. It gets dark at 6:00 pm in Kenya year round.  The water tank will eliminate long treks to fetch water for cooking and drinking.

Thank you for your support! We have reached our goal of 100 DFG's Kits to be distributed in 2021. 
We are currently having a campaign to purchase "100" Days For Girls Kits with Reusable Washable Sanitary Pads to keep girls in school all month, every month. Period. Each kit costs $10. We purchase these kits from a Days For Girls Sewing Enterprise in Kenya. So besides keeping the girls in school purchasing these kits also provides income to women in Kenya who sew and put the kits together. Thank you!

Mission Statement 
No End To Love promotes self reliance with education, clean water, business initiatives and improvement of living conditions.

*Education sponsorships support students in finishing their primary and secondary educations. Our focus after high school is finished is to concentrate on job skills and income producing activities. 

*Communities thrive when there is a clean, reliable and accessible water source. We assist communities in rehabilitating springs and establishing community based rain harvesting systems. We work along side Chip Morgan of Africa Water Bank (https://www.facebook.com/www.africawaterbank.org/) in Kenya to accomplish these initiatives.

*We support projects and initiatives that result in income opportunities for both individuals and communities. Projects range from raising chickens for eggs, meat and market, goats and cows for milk, meat or market. We establish gardens in communities for the production of food for consumption and market.

*Clean, safe, dry and adequate living accommodations are essential for families to thrive. We provide solar power for homes where electricity is not available. Students achieve better results in school when basic home lighting is available in the evening hours so they can study and read. 

Money raised through fund raisers and direct individual donations go directly to No End to Love’s humanitarian and charitable purposes. Administration costs are self funded and supplemented with 5% from proceeds from our Savers Clothing Drives. We have no staff or rent to pay but there are always some expenses involved when running an organization.

A non-profit organisation helping thousands of impoverished families in remote mountain hamlets to help themselves since 1998

**Since 1998,** the East Bali Poverty Project (EBPP) has empowered over **3,500 impoverished families** across **19 isolated sub-villages**, helping them break free from the cycle of abject poverty. Nestled across **5,000 hectares** on the steep and arid slopes of Mounts Agung and Abang in East Bali, these communities once faced isolation without roads, water, health facilities, education, sanitation, or electricity. Children were particularly vulnerable to malnutrition and iodine deficiency disorders (IDD).

Responding to their plea for help, David Booth founded the East Bali Poverty Project in 1998. Following interviews with 1,056 families, the communities prioritized children’s education as the path to a better life for their families, promising to learn from them. This sparked a collaborative effort with all 19 communities, addressing fundamental human needs.

**Key Milestones and Achievements:**

- Educated more than **1,200 children** in 6 remote EBPP schools since 1999
- Built **over 25 kilometers** of roads connecting the communities to the outside world
- Provided safe water for **2,400 families**
- Built toilet/bathroom blocks for **1,515 families** in 13 communities
- Supported **111 severely and 244 moderately malnourished children**
- Eliminated IDD from **84.5% in 1998**
- Established **48 Posyandu** (monthly health posts) serving **>6,000 families**
- Reduced child mortality from **30% in 1999/2000 to zero**
- Provided dental/oral healthcare for **31,300 children** in 51 schools
- Assisted **10,660 children** and adults with ENT care
- Provided physiotherapy services for **73 children with disabilities**
- Facilitated operations for **cleft lip/palate, cataracts, eyes, etc. for 91 children and 300 adults**
- Planted **80,000 bamboo** in **200Ha for afforestation** and community economic development

**Mission:**

To create sustainable solutions to poverty in rural Indonesian mountain villages, with a focus on the health, nutrition, and education of children.

**Purpose:**

Partnering with remote disadvantaged mountain communities, we combat poverty through relevant education, youth empowerment, outreach healthcare, malnutrition elimination, and sustainable dry land permaculture & agroforestry for food security and economic development.

**Current Priority Programs:**

1.     **Integrated Education:** Supporting 200 elementary to high school students in EBPP's 6 remote schools.

2.     **Malnutrition Field Study and Intervention:** Conducting a 5-year study with Udayana University Medical Faculty involving hundreds of adolescent females, pregnant women and their families and mothers of babies under 2 years to develop a replicable 'family model' to eliminate malnutrition.

3.     **Dry Land Regenerative Agriculture-Agroforestry Project:** Aiming for food security and economic development to benefit 700 disadvantaged families in 3 remote Mount Abang communities scattered over 1,000 hectares of dry volcanic ash slopes - requiring urgent road infrastructure to transport produce to market for sustainability

Evidence Action scales evidence-based and cost-effective programs to reduce the burden of poverty. 

Evidence Action was founded in 2013 to address a big gap in the fight against global poverty – many of the most promising interventions are either implemented at a very small scale, or not at all. We set out to address this gap by building programs that would scale evidence-based and cost-effective interventions, leading to significant improvements in quality of life for hundreds of millions of people.

Our model worked. Since then, our interventions have reached more than 530 million people. This success is achieved through the dedication and talent of our staff, the hard work of our partners, and the commitment of our supporters.

Our Accelerator is the engine for our new program development. To find the most cost-effective solutions in the world, we explore untapped opportunities with the greatest potential for impact. Through a rigorous process, we test groundbreaking health and development interventions, selecting those with a proven ability to reduce the burden of poverty at scale. This focus allows us to maximize the impact made for every single dollar invested.

**Programs:**

**Safe Water Now**

We provide sustained safe water access to communities through water treatment – one of the most cost-effective ways to prevent childhood illnesses and death. Safe Water Now programming in Kenya, Uganda, Malawi, and India uses innovative, low-cost approaches like chlorine dispensers and automatic in-line chlorination. With local government and community buy-in, we reach nearly 10 million people with safe water access and have saved the lives of more than 15,000 children under 5 years old. Now, we are scaling in partnership with the Government of India to reach tens of millions more.

**Deworm the World** 

We help improve children's health, education, and long-term wellbeing by treating parasitic worm

infections at schools. In partnership with governments in Kenya, Nigeria, India, and Pakistan, Evidence Action designs, scales, and sustains cost-effective mass deworming programs. Since 2014, Deworm the World has helped governments deliver 2 billion deworming treatments to children, dramatically reducing worm prevalence and collectively increasing economic productivity by an estimated $23 billion USD.

**Equal Vitamin Access**

We combat the leading cause of childhood malnutrition and disability in low- and middle-income countries by helping to deliver essential supplementation. Equal Vitamin Access provides end-to-end support to governments in India and Malawi to address anemia by leveraging our school-based deworming platform to offer iron and folic acid supplementation cost effectively. In 2023 alone, our program reached 35.8 million children with weekly treatments, giving them a

better chance to develop into strong, healthy adults.

**Syphilis-Free Start**

We safeguard the health of pregnant women and their unborn children by enabling access to low-cost syphilis screening and treatment as part of prenatal care. We partner with governments in Liberia, Cameroon, and Zambia to prevent disability, neonatal

mortality, and stillbirths resulting from congenital syphilis. Syphilis-Free Start’s timely detection and treatment prevented 2,300 adverse outcomes such as blindness, neurological issues, and hearing loss between 2021 and 2023, including 1,300 lives saved.

Evidence Action

We work to strengthen the rights of women in all their diversity.

Fondo de Mujeres del Sur (FMS) is a foundation that supports organisations that promote the rights of women in all their diversity in southern Latin America.

FMS was founded on October 12th, 2007, as part of the regional women movement.

We envision a world in which women in all their diversity enjoy the full exercise of their human rights, where they can defend their rights and achieve their well-being, free from violences and discriminations.

Our work focuses on four key areas: Democracy and women’s leadership in civic space; Economic justice; Eradication of violence and discrimination; Socio-environmental and urban justice.

Strengthening the networks that keep us Strong, Together, and Alive is our way of building a world free of violences. **Join our community of donors and strengthen them you too!**

A Story About Our "*Why"*

In January 2023, 14-month-old Virgil VanKleek was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare and aggressive childhood cancer. While Virgil is now cancer-free, the toll on his family was overwhelming—physically, emotionally, and financially. Thanks to the generosity of donors like you, the Jose Wejebe Memorial Foundation was able to give the VanKleek family eight days in the Florida Keys filled with joy, adventure, and healing. From fishing and snorkeling to exploring coral farms, encountering marine life, and fulfilling his mother, Amanda’s, lifelong dream of swimming with dolphins, the family experienced hope and happiness they never thought possible.

Amanda shared, “It was more than a trip. It was healing. It was unrivaled happiness. It was hope.” Your support makes moments like this possible. Every donation helps us bring comfort, joy, and renewal to families facing unimaginable challenges. Together, we can continue turning pain into possibility and give families the gift of healing memories.

Another "*Why"* Story

Four boys in long-term foster care recently spent a week in the Florida Keys thanks to the Jose Wejebe Memorial Foundation and Misty Wells’ A Reel Future. For children who have endured trauma, instability, and loss, the trip was more than just fishing, dolphin swims, and exploring coral reefs—it was a chance to laugh, feel safe, and create memories of joy. From cooking their own catch to learning about conservation, the boys experienced what it means to be cared for and supported, often for the first time.

Their counselor said the experience was “truly unforgettable,” and one of the boys shared, “This breath of fresh air finally brought peace to such a whirlwind of a world we live in… it showed me the sun is always shining, and that there are people that do care about us foster kids.” That is the power of your generosity. Your monthly support makes these life-changing moments possible—proving to kids who feel forgotten that they are seen, valued, and never alone. 💙 Become a Monthly Donor—Because everyone deserves hope.

Founded in 2008, TGF partners with Cambodian villages for sustainable development and community empowerment to improve livelihoods

Founded in 2008 Temple Garden Foundation (TGF) works in partnership with local villages in Cambodia to improve livelihoods through sustainable development and the empowerment of communities. It supports projects that maximize community participation and minimize external support in four interconnected areas: Water & Sanitation, Health, Children's Education, and Income Generation.



**Our Vision:**

Empowered rural communities building a sustainable future.

**Our Mission:**

To work in partnership with communities to provide the resources and support needed to sustainably build livelihoods.



Over the years, TGF has contributed significantly to essential services, fostering a sustainable and self-sufficient environment in the rural area of Chi Kraeng – an area as big as Singapore. By empowering individuals and communities, we are driving sustainable and inclusive development.

Temple Garden Foundation (TGF)

We promote environmental conservation and sustainability, democracy, respect for socio-environmental rights and social justice.

The Casa Socio-Environmental Fund is an organization that promotes environmental conservation and sustainability, democracy, respect for socio-environmental rights and social justice through financial support to civil society initiatives and by strengthening their capacities in South America. We have pioneered the debate on socio-environmental philanthropy in Brazil since 2005. Our mission is to generate positive impact on very diverse territories, investing in the lives of those who care for them, and establishing connections between communities and organizations.

To this end, we developed a powerful support network for small civil society initiatives — a network that mobilizes funds, provides support and strengthens capacities, thus ensuring increasing autonomy for groups spread all over South America. We believe change begins by listening, and we listen to the real protagonists of every cause we embrace: those whose lives are directly affected by any change in their territories.

We are partners of philanthropic organizations that want to support grassroots communities but find it hard to reach those groups directly. We are experienced in making sure that philanthropic funds will reach the community groups. For this, we have developed a supporting and monitoring methodology that takes into account the dynamics of the territories.

What guides us

Listening: our ears are always attentive and our doors open to receive people. For us, this is always the first step in any transformation. Listening to the demands of groups in need of support, understanding what can be done, and then helping them. Listening to feedbacks, understanding what has worked out and what has not, adjusting to the circumstances, and always improving. Whenever possible, we also seek to collect this type of feedback within our own team, where there is no power hierarchy, only different opinions and a great common goal.

Respect: there is no listening to people without respect. We assume everyone has a valuable viewpoint and an in-depth understanding of his/her own reality. We respect differences among cultures, regions, and biomes in order to maximize the impact of our support. We valorize and stimulate the protagonist place of each individual in the socio-environmental transformational process, as we believe that true change comes from the rank and file.

Trust: we trust the working capacity of each individual and each small group we support. We understand Casa Fund as a transitional space, not as a centralizing unit. We are a safe haven, we comfort the pain and uncertainties, ensuring the means to solutions, maximizing actions and opening pathways, but we are not the ones to carry out the projects.

Union: The sentence “union is strength” may sound like a cliché, but it is a motto for us. We aggregate and mobilize. The more people share our dreams of transformation, the greater will be our collective power.

Connection and collaboration: we exist to establish connections and promote collaboration. This does not mean we have to be always present or directly involved in all actions. For us, promoting joint work between two or more transformational agents is already super powerful! This way we manage to multiply our actions and actually have a significant impact on the world.

Our Numbers

Since its inception and up to 2022, the Casa Fund has supported 3,160 socio-environmental initiatives by NGOs and community groups in Brazil and South America. The grants totaled US$19 million.

FORRAD works with vulnerable communities to build water, agriculture, and nutrition security in the face of climate change.

**About FORRAD**

The **Foundation for Rural Recovery and Development (FORRAD)** was established in Delhi in 1980 with the objective of promoting, supporting, and coordinating initiatives in sustainable agriculture and the protection of natural resources. Over the past four decades, FORRAD has extended technical and financial support to more than 450 grassroots projects across rural India, building strong partnerships with local communities and organizations.

FORRAD’s work focuses on the needs of smallholder farmers, sharecroppers, and the most vulnerable and marginalized communities. The groups that are the worst affected by the consequences of climate change, yet have the least access to resources and decision-making spaces. FORRAD places these communities at the center of its interventions, ensuring that they are the primary stakeholders who shape and often lead the initiatives.

Central to its work is strengthening **water security** and promoting **low-cost regenerative agriculture** as strategies to mitigate climate risks and restore ecological balance. FORRAD has revived and restored traditional water conservation and management practices, enabling communities to build resilience against droughts and erratic rainfall. More than aware of the nutrition crisis confronting the country and recognizing the close and inextricable link between water, agriculture, livelihoods, and health, FORRAD has, over the past five years, also integrated **nutrition security** as a core component of all its programmes.

Beyond water and agriculture, FORRAD engages with the intersecting issues of **girls’ education, and community healthcare**. All its projects are designed to be community-driven, with control over natural resources, information and related technologies vested in the local people themselves.

FORRAD’s guiding principles are rooted in equity and justice. The organisation ensures equal opportunities across gender, caste, and community. By creating spaces for the most disenfranchised voices to be heard and recognized, we work towards building resilient rural communities that can adapt to climate change, secure their livelihoods, and shape their own sustainable futures.

**Previous Experience Thematically**

 **Education**

**JB Singh Kanya Shiksha Setu – A Learning Centre for Girls in Bihar**

The learning centre, established in 2017, now enrols 141 girls. All girls are enrolled in government schools, and the centre remains essential to address gaps in learning. Most students of the centre are first generation literate and do not have an environment that facilitates learning at home. The centre prepares students and their parents for ensuring learning at school. 140 children have been provided nutritious snacks at the learning centre. This has improved their parameters

 **Nutrition**

In an action-research project initiated in late 2023, 300 children were assessed for malnutrition in Nalanda district, Bihar. These children belonged to the most marginalised community groups. Children were administered B-complex vitamins, supplementary nutrition in the form of a locally produced protein and energy mix, and put on a deworming regimen. Each child received nutritional supplementation for over 15 months. While results are encouraging, the acute and chronic malnutrition has created stunting and the children did not show the signs of height and weight gain as in other states like Tamil Nadu.  

**Agriculture**

**Transitioning to Low External Input Sustainable Agriculture in Bihar**

700 acres of land in Nalanda district, Bihar transitioned to LEISA in the form of mixed cropping in the winter of 2025.

**Tree Plantation**

Over 1,600 saplings including mango, guava, banana, drumstick, hog plum (Amra), arjun (Kahua), jackfruit, mahogany, and teak were planted on pyne embankments in Bihar with farmers and local committees ensuring their protection.

**System of Rice Intensification in Thiruvallur district, Tamil Nadu**

96 farmers were motivated to use the **SRI method of rice cultivation** over their fields covering a total of 173 acres. SRI uses half the water that the traditional method does.

 **Water**

**1.      Pyne Restoration in Bihar**

FORRAD has restored 34 km of pynes (flood diversion channels from seasonal rivers) in Bihar creating a standing storage of 200 million litres of water serving a command area of 4000 acres of farmland.

2.      **Rainwater harvesting around the Sambhar Salt Lake (In partnership with Manthan Sanstha and Prayatna Sansthan)**
Storage capacity of 1.5 billion litres created through restoration of 31 rainwater harvesting structures in 20 villages around the Sambhar salt lake. Each year, about a billion litres of rainwater is collected. The reservoirs are maintained by the panchayats with support from district and state authorities.

3.      **Water storage for individual households (In partnership with Manthan Sanstha supported by individual donors)**
Water storage tanks of 10,000 litres each were constructed for 206 vulnerable families in remote hamlets lacking regular water supply. These communities now have means to store water from weekly tanker deliveries.

4.      **Watershed development in UP Bundelkhand (In partnership with Gramonnati Sansthan)**
Watershed development over 1,000 acres in Bilkhi and Tola Swayam villages in Uttar Pradesh transformed wasteland into productive farmland through farm-bunding, check-dams, ponds, and tree plantations.

5.      **Farm bunding** in Dikwaha began on 35 acres of land to conserve water and soil. It was expanded to 110 acres on demand from the community and mandated by panchayat, with farmers contributing 10% via shramdaan and five wells cleared for drought relief. In Baniya Tala, bunding started on 28 acres and extended by 18 more acres after panchayat interest, benefiting additional farmers.

6.      **The restoration of 39 km of traditional irrigation channels** in Tiruvallur district allowing for the use of surface water for irrigation thereby reducing dependence on groundwater and greatly benefitting the small-holder farmers who do not have their own tube-wells.

7.      **The cleaning of 60 public overhead tanks, (30,000 – 60,000 litres) and 16 school tanks** significantly reducing bacterial contamination in water. The tanks are now maintained by the local panchayat with occasional reminders from the community.

**8.      The cleaning, chlorination, and covering of 22 open wells** that had fallen into disuse with the coming of piped water and were being used as garbage dumps.

The Vision of the EWT is a healthy planet and an equitable world that values and sustains the diversity of all life.

The EWT is among South Africa’s largest and
most established national non-governmental
conservation organizations.  Founded in 1973, we are a non-profit organization with an expanding footprint
throughout southern and East Africa, focusing
on conserving threatened species and ecosystems to the benefit of people. We achieve this by conducting on-the-ground research, supporting community-led conservation, training and building capacity, addressing human-wildlife conflict, monitoring threatened species, and establishing safe spaces for wildlife range expansion.

The EWT works with key partners, including
communities, businesses, landowners, academic
institutions, and governments, to create a
sustainable future for wildlife and people.
 The Endangered Wildlife Trust is dedicated to
conserving threatened species and ecosystems in southern and East Africa to the benefit of all.

The EWT achieves this mission by delivering on
three strategic imperatives: Saving species,
conserving habitats, and benefiting people.
OUR STRATEGY
Our conservation programmes form the
organization’s backbone, harnessing the talent
and enthusiasm of a dynamic team of
individuals whose unique exper􀆟se and
mo􀆟va􀆟on provide them with the tools to
respond to the challenges they face in pursuit
of saving our most threatened species and
ecosystems.
The EWT is a registered Trust governed in accordance with the Trust Property Control Act No. 57 of 1988, under Master’s reference number IT 6247. The EWT is also registered in South Africa as a Non-Profit Organisation, registration number 015- 502 NPO
and Public Benefit Organisation, registration number 930 001 777

SPECIES RECOVERY
The EWT has achieved remarkable gains for many species, where downward trends in the local populations of Wattled and Grey Crowned Cranes, Piggersgill’s Frogs, the Amathole Toad, and the Riverine Rabbit have joined the Cheetah as species on a pathway to recovery. Critically Endangered
Wattled Cranes are increasing in number, now estimated at some 320 birds nationally, up 60% from their lowest numbers. The EWT has also helped reverse the decline of Endangered Grey Crowned Cranes, while Blue Crane numbers have increased from an estimated 25,500 birds nationally in 2007 to some 30,000 birds today.
SPACE FOR SPECIES
Through our range expansion work, we have secured and protected safe spaces for multiple species to thrive and we have reintroduced many threatened species back into secure and suitable landscapes. Safe space for African Wild Dogs has increased to over 1.4 million ha throughout southern Africa and their numbers and generic health have followed suit. Safe space for Cheetahs and their numbers have also increased from 217 Cheetahs on 41 reserves in South Africa in 2011, to 470 Cheetahs on 65 reserves covering over two million hectares across southern Africa.

SAFEGUARDING OUR SPECIES
To protect threatened species, we monitor them and work with partners, businesses, landowners, and communities to reduce the threats they face. We are innovating to achieve bigger impacts, as evident in our drone project’s expansion to use drones to mark power lines - reducing bird strikes safely and affordably and monitor Southern Right Whales in a way that wasn’t possible before. We continue to explore the use of eDNA to identify the presence of elusive and potentially extinct species, such as
Van Zyl’s and De Winton’s Golden Moles, so that action can be taken to save the last of their habitats.

Our pioneering Eye in the Sky carcass and wildlife poisoning detection project has already saved thousands of animals from secondary poisoning as a result of its efficient and effective success and our quick response times. The project uses the movements and behavior patterns of GPS-tracked vultures to remotely detect potential poisoning events and respond to these rapidly, alerting rangers on the ground and preventing further loss of wildlife to poisoning. We also contribute to preventing wildlife crime through the deployment of Conservation K9s to detect wildlife contraband and track poachers. These dogs help us to protect species, including rhinos, elephants, and pangolins.

Protec􀆟ng and conserving natural places is one of the most important strategies for comba􀆫ng the effects of
biodiversity loss and climate change. The EWT conserves habitats by reducing habitat loss and improving the
ecological integrity of threatened ecosystems through rehabilita􀆟on, restora􀆟on, and sustainable land
management. Many of the EWT’s programmes are involved in habitat conservation, but two are dedicated to protecting specific habitats.

COLLABORATING FOR CONSERVATION
An effective vehicle for conserving habitats is the formal protection of land through Biodiversity Stewardship. We work with private and community landowners to legally declare their land as protected or help them to manage it sustainably and without damage to sensitive species and ecosystems.
The EWT was instrumental in the development of Biodiversity Stewardship, having facilitated the workshops which led to its establishment, and subsequently, the EWT has declared 185 properties (over 139,000 ha) as protected areas in the last
ten years and is currently in the process of securing a further 130,000 hectares for threatened species conservation across South Africa. This includes proper􀆟es in one of the region’s most important centres of endemism: the Soutpansberg Mountain Range. Easily recognized for our work to safeguard charisma􀆟c species like the Wild Dog and Cheetah, the EWT also played a key role in preventing the extinction of the Brenton Blue Butterfly by establishing a dedicated reserve for this endemic insect.  Other critical habitats have been protected to prevent the extinction of many smaller, lesser-known species, including rep􀆟les, amphibians, butterflies, golden moles, and threatened plants.

CARBON FOR CONSERVATION
After establishing the feasibility of carbon trading in South Africa’s grasslands and recognizing the potential benefits for farmers and grassland and wetland management, the EWT the EWT initiated the first carbon offsetting contracts with private landowners in South Africa, in the Drakensberg.
When landowners agree to conserve and manage their land to allow for the verifiable sequestration of carbon in the soil, the carbon can be converted into carbon credits. Liable ensures, usually big carbon emitters, can purchase up to 10% of their carbon as carbon credits to reduce their tax liability in South Africa. These purchases create a long-term revenue stream for farmers and conservation organizations to support conservation efforts and protect important habitats through improved land-use management.

People need nature to survive – it provides important resources we depend on. We must live in harmony
with nature to thrive in healthy ecosystems that will support us and future genera􀆟ons, our wildlife, and
maintain our rich natural and cultural heritage. Through two of its programmes, the EWT implements
innovative strategies that incorporate the needs of people and the environment to ensure that people
benefit from the more sustainable use of natural resources.
BENEFITTING PEOPLE
CAPACITY FOR CONSERVATION
Working across diverse landscapes such as wetlands,
grasslands, river catchments, savannahs, and mountains, the EWT has embraced the need to support the lives and livelihoods of thousands of people who depend on their local environment, from developing sustainable livelihoods as alternatives to environmentally destructive practices in communities from KwaZulu-Natal to Limpopo, Zambia, and as far as Uganda, to pioneering the implementation of Population, Health and Environment in communities in southern and East Africa to support sustainable communities and empower women. The EWT
promotes and implements the education of school
learners and builds capacity for conservation and
ecotourism in communities across our project areas.

BIODIVERSITY AND BUSINESS
Recognizing the importance of biodiversity to business, the EWT established the National Biodiversity and Business Network (NBBN) in 2013 to work with innovative businesses to identify and manage the risks and opportunities resulting from their interactions with the natural world. Through its Biodiversity Disclosure Project, the NBBN helps companies to understand, measure, and disclose their biodiversity impacts and policies. The NBBN introduced the world’s first standardized accounting
framework, the Biological Diversity Protocol (BDP), which measures a business’ impact on biodiversity and identifies areas of improvement over time.  The EWT’s targeted conservation work has national and global impacts and our achievements contribute to multiple conservation-related frameworks. These include South Africa’s 2nd National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (2015–2025), and the National Biodiversity Assessment which assess the status of, and identify the biodiversity and ecosystem
management priori􀆟es as well as the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. 

Arguably, the EWT’s most important global impact is our work toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a collection of 17 interlinked global goals designed by the United Nations. The SDGs are a universal set of goals, targets, and indicators that UN member states should use to frame their agendas and political policies. Ambitious by nature, they are a government-led endeavor that serves to coordinate actions by United Nations agencies, businesses, non-governmental groups, and any other entities working on specific goals. These are
the goals that the EWT contributes to.

Protecting the Amazon rainforest and our climate in solidarity with Indigenous peoples

Since 1996, Amazon Watch has defended the Amazon rainforest and our climate in solidarity with Indigenous peoples. Long-term, trusted partnerships with Indigenous peoples — the best stewards of the rainforest — are the foundation for Amazon Watch’s campaigns for climate justice, corporate accountability, and the permanent protection of the rainforest.

The Amazon is home to more than 511 distinct Indigenous peoples. As our planet’s largest tropical rainforest, it stabilizes our global climate and an immense amount of Earth’s biodiversity and flowing freshwater can be found there. This vital ecosystem and the Indigenous peoples who have stewarded it for centuries face grave threats from deforestation, resource extraction, land grabs, and destructive development projects. The Amazon is facing a tipping point and won't be able to sustain itself as a rainforest if we remain on our current path of destruction.

To move to a turning point, Amazon Watch is carrying out campaigns in partnership with Indigenous peoples to secure Indigenous rights to ancestral territories, halt oil drilling and mining in the biome, and mobilize solidarity funds directly to Amazonian peoples at their request. Their work combines on-the-ground legal, advocacy, and communications expertise and long-term trusted partnerships with Indigenous peoples and organizations.

🌳Amazon Watch’s Amazon Defenders Fund (ADF) provides direct solidarity funding to Amazonian peoples and organizations free of bureaucratic barriers. The ADF supports Indigenous-led initiatives including community organizing, women’s leadership, communal economies, protection of Earth Defenders at risk for resisting destructive development, and crisis response including to wildfires and oil spills. The ADF is built upon a multi-decade track record as a trusted partner among Indigenous nations. You can learn more at amazonwatch.org/get-involved/amazon-defenders-fund.
