For over fifty years, the Australian Marine Conservation Society (AMCS) has fought tirelessly to preserve marine animals and ecosystems. Their projects include protecting the Great Barrier Reef, the endangered Australian Sea Lion and marine reserves from exploitation. The AMCS regularly runs petitions and campaigns to push for corporate and government reform regarding how humans interact with the ocean. In the past they helped craft the international ban on whaling and stop mining in the Great Barrier Reef! Australia may be on the other side of the world from America, but the ocean connects us all, and the Great Barrier Reef is one of the most biodiverse places on Earth. Now more than ever our oceans need help, and the AMCS is working wonders for our planet. This is why I am supporting the Australian Marine Conservation Society for 2020! marineconservation.org.au Stephen Curro |
![]() Evergreen Audubon In 1978, it became a chapter of the National Audubon Society. The Evergreen Nature Center was opened in the warming hut on Evergreen Lake in the Spring of 2008 as a way for Evergreen Audubon to reach out to the community and visitors. The Nature Center seeks to foster contagious enthusiasm and life-long respect for the natural world by providing fun and inspiring educational experiences. Kids love the Touch Table with real animal furs and antlers, and adults enjoy the animal and bird displays. They present information about the natural environment in the area and a beautiful view of the Lake. A new resident of the center is a bullsnake named Jennifer. In addition to the Evergreen Nature Center, they achieve their mission
through field trips, summer day camps, after school programs, in-school
involvement and numerous public events and projects throughout the
year. They also provide online virtual learning focusing on "mindfulness
in nature" while learning about birds and all the species which
are part of their ecosystem. https://evergreenaudubon.org/

The Greenbelt Conservancy This year, I have chosen The Greenbelt Conservancy. Their beautiful parks, forests, hiking trails and educational environmental programs have given me so much joy over the years so, I wanted to give back a bit. Here, from their website,

David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust
Founded in 1977, and working in Kenya, the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (DSWT) is one of the most all encompassing wildlife organizations I have ever heard of .... anti-poaching units, local environmental education programs, tree planting, beehive fencing, providing water during their frequent droughts, extensive veterinary services: both mobile and airborne. They work tirelessly in support of their local wildlife! At the heart of DSWT's work is their award winning "Orphans'
Project" where orphaned elephants, rhinos and giraffes are rescued,
raised and released. To date, 261 elephant orphans and 17 hand raised
rhino babies have been loved back to health! DSWT's work is labor
intensive (the orphan elephants are milk bottle fed every three hours
for 2 years or more!), and costly but worth every dime as the Trust
sees them returning back into the wild, where they belong! I am utterly
amazed at the scope of their projects and incredible rates of success.
You must visit their website to really understand the scope of their
work! Please help TRG help DSWT! www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org Debbie Murphy |
