Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Arts & Culture, Education, Environment, Higher Education, Media & Communications, Natural Resources Conservation & Protection
Mission: Using our unique combination of tools: flight, film and education, cavu empowers people to take meaningful action on critical conservation and social justice issues in their own communities.
Programs: Since 2005, we have conducted 14 outreach projects in 9 countries with more than 100 partners. Cavu believes that when people are informed and engaged, healthy societies and their environments thrive. We give voice to those most impacted by environmental degradation and climate change. Using our innovative toolbox: flight, film and education, we help people take ownership of the important issues in their communities and help them develop practical solutions. Over the last 13 years, cavu has flown hundreds of aerial missions, from the peruvian headwaters of the amazon, through virtually all of central america and into the united states. Cavu started its work in central america but is now focused largely on the united states. In 2015, cavu produced a 10 part educational video series (aheadofthetide. Org) which has been seen by over two million viewers. We also hosted a 7 part webinar series on the subject, featuring a diverse and highly acclaimed panel of experts. Currently, we are using this online social media outreach model to talk about a new subject in new mexico focused on oil and gas extraction and public education. We expect to reach 500,000 people in new mexico.
