Trees for the Future is a 501 (c) (3) charitable
organization in the United States. They provide seeds, training and technical
resources to families, communities and
organizations
interested in reforesting lands and maintaining sustainable agriculture
practices. Trees for
the Future is a grass roots, environmental and humanitarian organization
dedicated to helping people restore damaged, logged and abused lands. In
2002 over four million multipurpose, fast-growing trees were planted in more
than
6,000 villages in Asia, Africa and the Americas and requests for assistance
is increasing. Their programs support the people who plant the trees in their
own community, creating economic and environmental benefits. In thousands
of villages, people are working together, planting fast growing, permanent
beneficial trees. They're proving that devastated lands can be brought back
to
life
.
People are finding that both their living standards and their quality of
life is quickly improving. This program works because thousands of concerned
people, along with business leaders and private foundations, support the
efforts of Trees for
the Future in these rural lands. Their people-to-people action program
is made possible through tax-deductible contributions from more than 4,000
members in North America and around the world. Their efforts to work with
people to replant trees, gives everyone hope for the future.
The
International Crane
Foundation (ICF) works worldwide to conserve cranes and the wetland
and grasslands communities on which they depend. ICF is dedicated to providing
experience,
knowledge, and inspiration to involve people in resolving
threats to these ecosystems. To accomplish this mission, the
International Crane
Foundation (a private, non-profit organization) relies on a wide
range of education and conservation activities directed toward the many countries
where cranes occur. A collection of captive cranes is maintained at their
headquarters near
Baraboo
, Wisconsin, allowing them to pursue two vital techniques
for crane preservation: captive breeding and reintroduction into the wild.
Their work also demonstrates endangered species management for the public,
and facilitates breeding and education efforts with cranes elsewhere in the
United States and abroad. ICF is also concerned with habitat protection and
restoration. Cranes are excellent indicators of the health of wetland and
grassland ecosystems worldwide. ICF strives to alert
scientists,
government officials, and the public to the dependence of cranes on their
habitats, the causes and remedies for habitat destruction, and the importance
of wetlands and grasslands for both wildlife and people. ICF supports research,
serving primarily as a catalyst for research, by making available its facilities
and bird collection to scientists, by sponsoring workshops and publications,
and by fostering a network among conservationists, biologists, and managers
around the world.
