World Conservation Day

Happy World Nature Conservation Day!!
Here at White Elephant, we are extremely proud of the partnerships we have built to achieve the goal we all believe in... and that is in the young youth of today. It is our responsibility to give them the experiences and knowledge of our environment, wildlife and cultures because no one will protect what they don’t care about; and no one will care about what they have never experienced. By giving them these opportunities and speaking out about the beauty and fragility of the natural world, we are teaching our youth to love and understand nature, which will inspire them to take action and protect it
“We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future” David Attenborough

The below companies all send groups to stay at our Research Camp. They each have a different market, area of focus and programme, yet they all have one thing in common: Conservation!

This type of beyond-the-classroom education opens students’ hearts and minds to the diverse world they live in. “Through experiences such as these, young people begin to learn the most important life lesson of all: the essential role they play in building and shaping a sustainable future for all.”

Live4Now’s aim of their programmes is for students from all over the world to come to South Africa and gain practical experience in their field of study and to use the experience gained here to not only supplement their studies but to increase their passion in their particular field.

By exploring the world, seeing all the beauty it has to offer and learning from it. This gives them the passion and knowledge to better it.
