Our Launch Steering Committee members are experts in their fields from wildlife conservation and preservation, undercover investigations, global politics, non-profits, global strategy and business.  Guiding us as we launch to find and support effective initiatives in Africa that protect and defend endangered species and the surrounding communities impacted by them.  We’ll search for areas that are in dire need of funding to ensure their projects succeed and that wildlife, communities and habitat all thrive. It will include planting trees, fruit and crops to create industry away from poaching. Our contributions fund educational programs (with a focus on youth programs), we’ll fund practical events such as connecting villagers to the game reserves where the wildlife exists for a much needed personal connection. We’ll continue to support the protection of endangered wildlife, anti-poaching rangers, education, support to veterinarians, tracking and monitoring devices, wildlife relocation projects, rhino de-horning needs (and do all we can to help put an end to this need by stemming the rhino horn trade) and other meaningful initiatives that promote a healthy bond between humans and wildlife in Africa.

Their passion and dedication to see commercial poaching end, rivals yours and ours and we are honored they have agreed to be on our esteemed Board of Advisors.
