Mission

AT THE CULTURAL SANCTUARIES FOUNDATION, WE WORK AT THE CROSSROADS OF CONSERVATION AND CULTURE. WE FOCUS ON HELPING INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES CULTURE AND LANGUAGE AND PROTECT THEIR LAND. WE FOCUS TOO ON ECONOMIC REALITIES IF A FAMILY'S ONLY SOURCE OF INCOME IS TO CUT DOWN A TREE OR KILL A RHINO, IT IS UNREALISTIC TO EXPECT THEM NOT TO RAISE THEIR AXE OR THEIR GUN. EQUALLY IF THE CHILDREN OF TRADITIONAL FARMERS HAVE NO OPTION BUT TO SEEK MENIAL JOBS IN OVERCROWDED CITIES, IT IS INEVITABLE THAT TRADITIONAL CULTURE WILL ERODE, LANGUAGES CEASE TO BE SPOKEN AND THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE LAND, FOREST AND OCEAN FADE AWAY.
