What We Do

Aimed at young people aged 11-18, this programme is perfectly adapted to the four Key Stages of the PHSE/Citizenship programme within the National Curriculum. It provides a curriculum context within which schools can offer planned and coordinated opportunities for pupils to explore attitudes and values and to develop knowledge, skills and understanding that support inclusion and appreciate nature and natural resources.

The implementation of a carbon emission off-setting project to part-fund an educational programme for the indigenous population of the Loreto Province of Peru. This is the most northern and largest region of Peru, consisting entirely of over a million hectares of rain forest and dense vegetation. The people in the region survive at a subsistence level.

Working with the regional government and two long-standing, locally based environmental agencies we are supporting a programme which aims to deploy local people into low-impact, sustainable alternative employment as well as making them aware of the need to conserve their environment. Managed forestry, replanting and fish-farming are all alternative sustainable sources of employment. Currently an estimated 250,000 hectares of forest are slashed and burnt each year, with people being paid barely 15p a tree.

Contributing towards the development of a body of knowledge and identifying best practices, particularly in supporting sustainable development for impoverished communities and Educational Programme for appreciation of diversity.
