Vision: A Thriving Africa in Harmony with Nature
Human ingenuity has brought us many benefits, but it has come at a significant cost to our planet. The story of our progress has been one of nature’s decline. To support our growing population, Africa has had to encroach on forests due to extensive agricultural practices.
Our vision is to embrace innovation for prosperity, liberate Africa’s nature, prioritize sustainable agriculture, protect, and preserve our rich biodiversity. Together, we can create a future where Africa thrives in harmony with its natural heritage.
Mission:
To liberate nature and elevate humanity
Our approach is multifaceted:
Harness clean energy and combat climate change.
Enhance food production while safeguarding our land.
Revitalize African cities with green initiatives and protect our forests.
Advocate for policies and technologies that facilitate this transition.
Affirm the universal right to prosperity and well-being for all humanity.
Core Values
We remain respectful of others. We do not blame and shame individuals. We focus on systemic and scalable change. We reject any use of violence.
We follow the science. If others refuse to accept scientific evidence on any topic, we consider it our duty to point this out.
We are open-minded. In the light of better evidence, we’re ready to change our minds. We support technologies as means, not ends.
We embrace diversity. We appreciate the fact that we need to cooperate with people with different ideas and backgrounds.
We revere all life. We affirm the rights of all sentient beings to wellbeing.
