This program&#8217;s success is due to its\u00a0multi-faceted\u00a0approach. Through capacity and network building, Future Leaders aims to educate\u00a0young professionals\u00a0so they may\u00a0develop local constituencies for sustainability and create alternative incomes for\u00a0themselves and future generations.\u00a0The approach is\u00a0innovative and unique &#8211; WildFF is the only organization in Madre de Dios that provides this kind of capacity support. \u00a0\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-926\" src=\"https:\/\/wildff.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Practing-Marketing-Project-Presentation.jpg\" alt=\"Practing Marketing Project Presentation\" width=\"5760\" height=\"3840\" \/>This kind of work requires dedicated partners. LUSH* is our newest collaborator and unabashedly supports these short term projects with long term audacious goals. This partnership between WildFF and LUSH not only empowers local communities in the region, but also successfully connects people outside of Peru to the incredible benefits and wonders of forests &#8211; particularly endangered forests and the more than 70% of life on Earth that live in forests. Through social media and network outreach efforts, this partnership will bring forest education and advocacy to people around the globe.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-924\" src=\"https:\/\/wildff.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/The-2016-Future-Leaders-Team.jpg\" alt=\"The 2016 Future Leaders Team\" width=\"3531\" height=\"2205\" \/>WildFF began as a dream to protect a strategically important piece of forested land in the Las Piedras watershed in the department of Madre de Dios, Peru. A network of like-minded scientists, business professionals, and students are working to draw attention to the value of forests and provide ways for people to engage in conservation. By supporting local leaders and organizations who are working to conserve and restore high value forests, the combined forces of WildFF and LUSH Cosmetics are continuing to advance\u00a0positive change in our world.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>*<b>LUSH Charitable Givings Ethics: <\/b>LUSH believes in the true meaning of authentic giving and that it is what the donor can do for the charity not what the charity can do for the donor. LUSH\u00a0believes in building good relationships with their\u00a0partners and finding ways to go beyond monetary giving to support their cause. LUSH\u00a0believes in the power of campaigning, activism and grassroots to affect long term change. LUSH\u00a0believes that it\u2019s the hard work, dedication and results that matter, not how the group is registered. Finally, LUSH\u00a0believes in telling their\u00a0customers clearly how much of their money will be donated and to whom.<\/p>\n<p>Their\u00a0charitable giving is not a marketing exercise, and they\u00a0ask nothing back from the groups they\u00a0fund. They\u00a0just want to help those who work tirelessly to make the world a better place, and who play a useful part in the movement to create change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are excited to announce a new partnership in the Peruvian Amazon with LUSH Cosmetics!
