Today on the 55th anniversary of #EarthDay, we celebrate the power we hold together to protect our planet. This year’s theme is: “Our Power, Our Planet,” a strong message that calls us to unite around renewable energy and conservation.⁣ ⁣ At Empowers Africa, we believe that empowering communities and protecting Africa’s extraordinary wildlife and landscapes are inseparable from building a sustainable future. Every project we support helps strengthen the bond between people and the planet and in fact, many of our fiscal sponsor partners are making incredible moves towards renewable energy sources and reducing their carbon footprints – a vital step in leaving behind a planet that we are proud of. ⁣ ⁣ This Earth Day, we invite you to educate, advocate, and mobilize. ⁣ ⁣ Together, we are a powerful force for change⁣ ⁣ #EmpowersAfrica #OurPowerOurPlanet #EarthDay2025 #Conservation #CommunityEmpowerment⁣ ⁣ 📸 ⁣ 1 @africanbushcamps 2 @theroyalportfolio ⁣ 3 @asiliaafrica 4 @tswalu (fb)

One of our newest fiscal sponsors, the Kevin Richardson Foundation is a non-profit conservation organisation dedicated to the conservation of one of Africa’s most iconic animals: the lion 🦁 ⁣ ⁣ Launched in early 2018, the foundation is committed to reversing the state of the continent’s declining lion population by purchasing habitat and raising awareness to create safe, natural spaces where lions and other native species can flourish. ⁣ ⁣ By partnering with specialised organisations and engaging with impoverished communities on the fringes of these protected areas, the foundation also aims to minimise human/wildlife conflict. ⁣ ⁣ Visit the link in our bio to donate to lion conservation and research in Africa or visit @kevinrichardsonfoundation to learn more.
