African Wildlife Foundation Saves Congo Basin


Wildlife 101:  Can this school save the environment?

What Patrick Bergin, CEO of African Wildlife Foundation, has conceived and developed in an awesome win-win scenario:  In brief, the AWF builds schools in remote areas of the Congo Basin that are in terrible need of care and conservation.  The governing communities in these areas are cash-strapped, and are willing to allow for conservation efforts, in exchange for AWF support.  The schools are state-of-the-art to attract the best possible teachers and therefore to teach disadvantaged children in the best possible way.  The curricula engender good environmental values and activities, and the building of the schools themselves draw on indigenous workers and materials.  The idea is to do good, which is, well, doable and sustainable.  It's all brilliant, so read more by clicking the link in the caption above.
