Hi,

I'm currently looking into starting a new conservation society, I know it's a long road but I'm just starting out with some basic ideas. I've put the intro and mission statement below.
I welcome any feedback, enjoy!



New Horizons Conservation Society

Intro

The 8.7 million species of animals currently in existence are not a snapshot in time but a legacy for the future. The NHCS aims to increase the awareness of environmental and the human impacts faced by the planets animals.
Over the recent decades we have become aware of the blight of hundreds of species worldwide, many of which are on the brink of extinction. It has been estimated that humans have been directly and indirectly responsible for the extinction of over a thousand species during our existence and many more if we don’t act now!


Mission statement

• Encourage and educate young people about the importance of their continual involvement in the area of animal welfare and conservation.
• Identify species threatened by human activity, and then work to prevent the damage on the ecosystem.
• Identify current ongoing projects that are protecting animals and their environments, and support them anyway NHCS can.
• Assist UK and worldwide-based sanctuaries in their efforts to care for animals that have suffered as a result of the illegal pet trade and the destruction of their natural habitat. - See more at: http://www.zoochat.com/65/new-horizons-conservation-society-310589/#sthash.lcWFTdSl.dpuf
 
Thats at bit rude ,this is a very worthy cause I believe in and I'm sorry if this bothers you. I'm just trying to maximise my exposure.
 
Actually, it's not rude at all. There are rules about advertising on this site, and repeating the same thread in multiple forums could be considered spamming. Especially as the link you posted (which suggests a website) goes to another ZooChat thread with an identical post. Considering that you are only asking for feedback, maximum exposure should not be a concern of yours at this point.

:p

Were I considering becoming a backer of such a society, my first question would be; Why yet another conservation society? Aren't there dozens already, each competing for support and doing the same work?

My second would be; If you feel there is a need for yet another conservation society, what is that need and how are you uniquely able to meet it? Why you, why now?

And my third might be: Is this about accomplishing good in the world or about funding your personal dream.... in which case why would I care?
