(http://www.jhfestival.org/ About WildiZe: Africa is the heart of WildiZe Foundation and where they have been supporting wildlife conservation and community development projects throughout sub-Saharan Africa for more than a decade. WildiZe has experienced the positive impacts that can come from a small investment of resources in the right hands. At the same time, across Africa wildlife numbers continue to drop and communities continue to struggle. There is a tremendous need to expand the reach of their innovative approach and are embarking on a revitalized platform and vision. WildiZe believes that to truly promote effective conservation, their work needs to be driven by the needs and ideas of the communities we work with, and that any actions taken need to be culturally and ecologically appropriate. They support projects that promote conservation through lifelong education, environmental regeneration, research on and protection of wildlife, sustainable income opportunities, and the application of appropriate agricultural technologies. Imagine an Africa where there is a sustainable relationship between people and wildlife. Imagine an Africa where agricultural practices regenerate the earth instead of degrading this one planet that is our only home. Imagine an Africa where the children of today can achieve whatever dreams they have for their tomorrows. This is the Africa WildiZe sees looking ahead - an Africa full of hope and promise - and it is toward this vision that they dedicate their efforts and funding.
