The Green Revolution Mission:
The Green Revolution embodies the will to change. For the past 3 years the Jane Goodall Institute Chimpanzee Eden has been fighting for change in places where all hope seems lost, the mission was only to rescue the orphaned chimpanzees and expose the trading network to the authorities. In a period of 2 years this organization has succeeded in rescuing 20 chimpanzees from 6 different countries, including 3 war torn countries.
The Green Revolution is the effort that is larger than just one rescue team; it embodies the will of thousands to turn the tide on the destruction of the natural habitat areas and to be the change in their every day life.
The G-Revolution team are individuals from The Jane Goodall Institute that live to negotiate, plan and execute rescuing missions. The team has now created the larger effort to rescue not only the orphans but also their habitat in Africa, especially the forested areas that form an integral part of endangered specie conservation such as that of the great apes.
The Green Revolution effort has set its first goal of protecting the Maiombe forest in the Cabinda province of Angola. The G-Revolution team will make use of resources provided by the Green Revolution Fund and the volunteer base formed solely from Green Revolutionists.
- Establish with the help of the Angola Government a conservation area within the Maiombe Forest.
- The successful partnership with Cabinda authorities including the chiefs of communities present within the conservation area.
- The development of new technology that would assist with aerial surveying and on-the-ground scouting efforts.
- The establishment of a base of operations in the centre of the conservation effort.
- The financial and skills provision to communities for farming purposes.
- The establishment of inter community trading network.
- The protection of all species in designated protection areas by the trained G-Revolution Rangers.
- To extend facilities at Chimp Eden to handle the rehabilitation influx for all orphans from the Miaombe Forest.
