The participants of our environmental education programs make a conscious decision to promote a sustainable and symbiotic relationship between themselves and the environment.
The key goal of Conservation Global’s (CG’s) programs is to explore the interactive and interdependent relationship between the systems of the natural world, the economy, and social structures and to promote awareness and respect for the needs of the natural world to the next generation of environmentalists.
Conservation Global provides a platform in which people with a vested interest in the environment can participate in taught programs that are grounded in ongoing research programs. CG aims to improve the overall condition of natural areas by producing knowledgeable and passionate environmental stewards.
We believe that awareness is fundamental to successfully passing on the torch to future generations. Likewise, we believe that a combination of interactive taught programs and grassroots research programs provide the groundwork for a highly unique professional and personal growth experience.
The South Africa travel was the most incredible experience of life!! With Conservation Global’s help, I experienced memories that will last a lifetime. From learning about sustainability in townships and wildlife conservatory at game reserves, to the social and economic issues that South Africa struggles with today, Conservation Global allowed me to be enthusiastic and engaged throughout our trip, as well as encouraged me to think about how my relationship with nature and the environment will affect future generations for years to come.
I spent two weeks in South Africa with Conservation Global in a partnered trip with Franklin University Switzerland. It is safe to say that these two weeks are by far the most memorable of my life thanks to the effort Conservation Global put into both the educational and adventurous aspects of our trip. From hiking up Lion’s Head in Cape Town, diving with Great White sharks in the Indian ocean, and near encounters with the endangered White Rhinoceros, this NGO helped plan an incredible experience for my research conservation class. If it were not for Conservation Global I do not think we could have done many of the activities we did- such as engage with students at Tsiba College on issues of sustainability on our campuses, and meet and listen to Mark Rutherford lecture on how to run Gondwana Game Reserve. I will forever be grateful for these two weeks and for all of the hard work Conservation Global put into this experience!
