There are 1.8 billion children and young people in the world today. David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation's education programme aims to support children and young people to become effective advocates for wildlife conservation and biodiversity. We have been delivering free assemblies, talks and workshops to schools, youth groups and children's clubs in the UK for over 20 years as well as supporting ground-based conservation partners with comprehensive education programmes across Africa and Asia.
Conservation is not just about animals. It's about the health of ecosystems, and it's about people. If we can help instil the belief that by protecting wildlife and their natural habitats we all stand a better chance of survival, then we are one step closer to turning the tide on extinction.
DSWF funds education initiatives in the UK and across Africa and Asia focussed on positive engagement and environmental awareness. From immersive educational bush camps in Zimbabwe to wildlife related art classes in southern Asia, as well as free school talks here in the UK, we believe that conservation education is a vital and long-term tool of conservation. We invest heavily to help provide education materials, school resources and help support the time and costs of the educators themselves.
By investing in future generations, we are building on our own legacy to protect and fight on behalf of wildlife so the youth of today can become the leaders of tomorrow and act with the foresight that environment and conservation welfare is the best path to protecting our planet.
