Our Vision
A world in which society (Cabo Verdean society in this case) and nature can prosper together; in which communities sustainably manage natural resources and are committed to protecting nature.
Our Mission
To develop a sustainable management system for the island’s natural resources, which integrates emerging environmentally orientated economies with the balanced exploitation of Sal’s valuable ecosystems, and which can show the way to a more vibrant, environmentally conscious and economically strong community.
Our Values
Environmental ethics
Appreciation of the ecological and economic importance of natural resources is one of the keys to creating an ethical environmental value that impacts on the various emerging economic sectors in Cabo Verde.
Ethical Volunteerism
Strengthening solidarity within the community and promoting volunteering as a tool for raising awareness and as an enriching experience of cultural exchange.
Commitment to Community
Promoting and encouraging people to develop a personal dedication to the environmental cause as an individual choice.
Economic Opportunity
To educate and show the community the economic, personal and health benefits of preserving and valuing the environment.
Environmental Responsibility
Dedication to raising local and international awareness about the importance of conservation and environmental stewardship.
Sustainability
To instil responsible decision-making practices that have a minimal negative impact on the environment, and that contribute to maintaining the balance between ecological resilience and economic prosperity.
