Art Of Conservation

ART OF CONSERVATION (AoC), founded in 2006, inspires children and their families to conserve biodiversity through creative learning and one-health awareness. The organization encourages learning through creative expression, combining science-based lesson plans with visual art, poetry, song, dance and sports. AoC programs are directed toward school children who live in areas where endangered species conservation programs are underway but have limited opportunities to directly experience, engage and invest in these efforts. By collaborating with socially responsible partners, including conservationists, educators and health professionals, AoC develops both in- and out-of-school lesson plans specific to each community and its conservation challenges. During its seven years in Rwanda, AoC provided children with thousands of hours of educational programming. New initiatives have been launched in Guyana and Panama.
