education & wild paw-sibilities


general | educational presentations | women& wildilands© |

Wildlife conservation is about People! Yes.. if you are interested in helping to protect endangered species.. then you are dealing with the people who are impacted by them or live with them or live off of them. Education is tantamount to saving our Earth and its myriad species. Educating everyone.. us included. Once we understand the impacts that people have on wildlife, and that wildlife has on people, we can then begin to understand about balance and co-existence- on our one and only planet, Earth. We have no other options. so...if WE don't care, who will?

Whether you are a student wanting to get involved, a young child learning "how did the leopard get his spots?" or an adult (with a Degree in anything, or having earned an equally important "Degree of Life") conservation is rewarding and rewards are fun. It matters that we all choose to do something to help preserve our Earth’s wildlife and habitat, no matter how big or small. WildiZe Foundation™ firmly believes that there are many ways to help our Earth that can be important and meaningful and and still be fun. Education and awareness is primary to this belief. We can all participate in the decision of how we give our planet to our children.

WildiZe Foundation™ philosophy is grounded in the belief that humanity must be in balance as one with, not separate from nature and the all encompassing Laws of Life. Addressing human needs and linking them with the needs of wildlife and the wilds is critical to the long term conservation of our Earth's diversity and resources.

All of WildiZe Foundation™ projects are developed with this mission statement and aim to make conservation projects attainable at many levels. It only matters that we all choose to do SOMETHING to help preserve our wildlife and habitat, no matter how big or small. We firmly believe that there are many ways to help our Earth that can be important and fun.

It doesn't matter so much what you do, as long as you are doing something. All of us can help, in little ways and in big ways-- whether it be in the global arena, or locally in your own back yard. If you are looking to become involved in WildiZe projects working with tribal communities or wildlife groups, please check out projects & related lynx, ans kits & cubs for kids and young adults.. ( hey.. I must say.. even if you are an Adult.. the page is a lot of fun!)

You CAN help, you don't have to pack a thing, dig out your passport, or apply mountains of bug repellent! You don't even have to leave your chair! - although you should get out and spend some time with your wonderful and wild world every now and then. Step outside , and breathe it! If you aren't liking what you see, then help change it. If you love what you see, then help save it.
