Currently, we have enough information to know the effect that mankind is having on the rest of life sharing our planet. Like it or not, Mankind in the current millennium, has landed the most awesome choice in history. It is for our generation to choose whether or not to make the commitment to stop the tide of destruction of life worldwide, and thereby to halt the sixth extinction - this being the annihilation of the prodigious diversity of life on our planet, which has made Earth so unique among the family of planets in our solar system.

If we do not act decisively now, the moment of choice will be past and lost forever.

Why we aim to make a difference

• Globally mankind needs to analyse environmental issues.
• It is vital that concepts such as sustainable development, bio-diversity and how to achieve environmental awareness are grasped.
• We need community minded citizens who, irrespective of their locality on the globe, will be capable of making a positive contribution in their immediate environment and community.
• We must develop young citizens, who will be champions for the environmental cause and Man’s ultimate survival; they will be eco-wise.

How can this be achieved?

• Develop life skills through practical, hands-on and ‘real world’ experiences.
• Develop too, the concept of empowerment and that making responsible decisions is both vital and critical.
• Qualities such as leadership and innovation need to be encouraged and developed.
• A culture of service beyond self must be both fostered and deep-rooted.
• An understanding that educating for survival requires flexibility and the ability to adapt to the needs of our times.
