Campaign: Changing Lives Through Nature
Children the world over are becoming ever-distanced from nature to the point where it has acquired the term of “Nature Deficit Disorder”.
Furthermore, with a failing education system that sees fewer than 15% of youth attaining results that will gain them an entrance to university and having over 50% of our youth unemployed, destruction of nature is often seen as of little consequence.
We hope to change this view and launched our ‘Changing Lives Through Nature’ campaign in order to help children develop a passion for the natural environment and mechanisms to focus this interest for them to enter a career in the Green Economy.
