Mission Statement
Go Conscious Earth protects African rainforests and the animals that live there by partnering with indigenous communities to eliminate extreme poverty and cultivate sustainable practices.
Description
GCE has conserved one million acres of rainforest so far. Our unique approach not only raises the quality of the lives of the indigenous people living here but also leads to more rainforest conservation initiatives in the DRC. Working within the communities on Lac Tumba to protect tribal lands rights helps alleviate poverty and is an extremely effective way to save rainforest. Even as we begin our community initiatives in the currently conserved rainforest for the Bantomba tribe, we are beginning the process of conserving the adjacent one million acres, and we will work with the communities there to create and implement projects that they decide are necessary for their health, survival, and well-being.
