Invite reviews
I spent almost 7 wks. in august and sept. of 07 with Dr. Mike Cahse and Kelly Landon (EWB), on top of it being the trip of a lifetime it gave me the amazing experience of seeing first hand what incrediably difficult circumstances that they work in everyday,ie.(Africa) I don't know that are more than a hand full of organisations capable of accomplishing what EWB does day in and day out, with the dedication, expertise in one of the most important conservation areas in the world. As they continue to grow their ability to make more real contributions will also grow in scope and purpose. A organisation that deserve serious consideration for donations to help them accomplish their important and vital work.

I work for the San Diego Zoo and our organization has partnered with Elephants Without Borders to help study and protect the vast elephant herds in southern Africa. As communications manager in the development department, my colleagues and I work directly with EWB's staff to raise funding and awareness for EWB's conservation efforts. The dedication and professionalsim of the small EWB staff is incredible, and they are making monumental strides in protecting nearly half the elephants left on the entire African continent. I receive regular EWB updates from Africa and am always impressed with the progress they are making in resolving human and elephant conflicts in the region, such as the launch of their new Elephant Conservation and Community Outreach Farming Project. They realize that to protect elephants, they must engage and help the local villagers who share the land with the elephants and other wildlife. The EWB team looks at the big picture and also partners with the local and national governments in the region by providing research and advice that helps them set policies and guidelines for conservation. I applaud the EWB team and feel they are deserving of a Green Choice award.
The Great!
