Audio message from "Dr. Jones", host of the Jungle Deep podcast show:
Dear Parent,
The world belongs to your child, as much as anyone else. Even more, perhaps, than adults, for children have their lives before them. No-one wants a world impoverished by the loss of animals like, tigers, elephants, rhinos, polar bears and pandas. Extinction of these species represents even greater losses to the habitats of these animals. Your child needs, wants and deserves a healthy planet rich with wildlife.
Involvement with A-Team of Wildlife offers many benefits for your child:
- Opportunities to work with other children with a team spirit.
- Experience community service to benefit others while enhancing the feeling of belonging.
- Acquire Leadership Skills, like public speaking, organizing, record keeping.
- Learn about our connectedness to nature, the importance of natural resources, and wildlife.
- Master internet marketing techniques
Whether your child stays with conservation issues and becomes a professional conservationist, or not, s/he will gain skills and experiences that will serve them in their future schooling and career.
A-Team for Wildlife is a non-profit wildlife education and fund-raising organization.
Our leadership are parents, teachers, and conservation professionals who want to inspire and assist young people to save endangered species and preserve needed habitat. You can learn about us as individuals at the "Meet our Leaders" tab, or by clicking here.
Our Mission: to serve youth saving endangered species through education, inspiration, guidance, and individualized fund-raising activities.
Our Vision: A-Team for Wildlife will be the leader in youth-generated fund-raising with Local A-Teams in every community in the country and many countries around the world, supporting and rewarding achievers with Exciting Educational Wildlife Experiences, and offering record-breaking sums as donations to endangered species preservation programs.
Every youth, through membership, will learn about the value of nature, experience teamwork and demonstrate a community service ethos, practice leadership skills, and build confidence while working in an environment that embraces diversity in religion, nationality, race, and gender.
As a result, the trend of accelerating extinctions will be reversed and the conservation community will have a supply of new conservation professionals backed up by an educated and involved new generation of the public progressing towards sustainability.
