ECOLIFE Conservation

Organization Description

ECOLIFE® is an organization dedicated to a world in which people and nature prosper together. We focus on integrating community health and environmental sustainability through simple-adaptive approaches.

At ECOLIFE we focus on using conservation as tool that is adaptable and integrative rather than confrontational. We believe that to safeguard the collective future of people and nature we must change the way we interact with our environment. This means rethinking how resources are used in high-income countries while fostering sustainable usage in developing economies. Our approach matches simple technologies with education to improve upon our use of precious natural resources such as water, land, and forest.

  • Support Aquaponics Manager and network of 400 teachers for all program related needs and communications
