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.
WE BUILD STOVES
Building fuel-efficient stoves saves human lives and butterfly habitat.
We grow sustainable food
Growing food with aquaponics makes food accessible to all and uses 90% fewer resources than conventional agriculture.
