KEY OBJECTIVESTo Raise £2m In Order To:
●Increase the awareness of mental well being and mental health issues;issues that have always been with us but have been brought into sharper focus during 2020 as a result of the Covid 19 pandemic. Mental well being is a lifelong consideration, impacting people of all ages, all demographics, everywhere in the world and can’t be fixed with a vaccine. ●Increase the awareness, research and education of the correlation between nature, the wilderness and mental well being, and the use of nature based mental well being and rehabilitation programmes. ●Use conservation as a tool to raise awareness of human wildlife conflict, poaching and the stripping of natural habitats and environments and bring about change via the Machinda ‘Nyami Nyami river god of the Zambezi’ initiative. ●Educate that the conservation of our natural world is not only important for our physical survival on the planet, but also our mental survival. ●Build the Education & Research Centre that will enable the latest global education and research on conservation in order to protect our natural environments and how we can harness the healing power of the wilderness to improve our mental well being and restore equilibrium. ●Plant 100,000 trees in year 1, with an overall ambition of planting 2.5m trees – That’s one tree for every step that Nick will take in his walk around Lake Kariba. ●RESTORE EQUILIBRIUM IN THE SPACE OF ONE GENERATION |
