Our Approach
We approach conservation holistically, addressing the biggest threats to life on earth. We focus on providing simple solutions to the leading causes of wildlife extinctions and human deaths.
Our mission is to protect wildlife, natural resources, and the people who depend on them. We are helping humans and nature prosper together.
Extinction and Death
Extinction is driven by habitat loss, and more people die from indoor cooking fire smoke than any other single cause.
Agriculture and Stoves
Our strongest defenses against extinction and human mortalities are practical solutions to agriculture and cooking fires.
