Piggy’s Youth Rangers program created by our bri

Piggy’s Youth Rangers program created by our brilliant Sarah Wang, and facilitated by our amazing local partner @bukitlawangtrust, is growing to enrich children in eight communities of Sumatra! Quote from the local facilitator Sam: “People ask me what is the point in teaching kids about protecting the environment, ‘They're not the ones destroying it,’ they said. To which my response is always, ‘what is the point in fighting climate change only to retire and watch our children make the same mistakes.’” Thank you Sam! And stats from the local facilitator:
.

The Bukit Lawang Trust now has approximately 650 rangers, training every week from 8 different rural communities in North Sumatra. In May they have learnt all about some core Ranger skills including,
- river crossing
- silent communication
- animal recognition
- basic navigation
and an introduction to waste management.
.
The Youth Rangers at the Trust are now preparing for a 1 day trip into the Tropical Rainforest to put their new skills to the test!

Another amazing puppy transformation by our Tanzanian shelter @urban_tails_2016! These puppies were terrified of everything when they were first rescued.

Love is one of the best forms of rehab! This street pup was terrified of humans, until our Tanzanian shelter @urban_tails_2016 sat with him every single day patiently. And now the pup is a very nice schnoz-kisser enthusiast! Hope in dark times! #tanzania #arusha #dogshelter #empathy #compassion #rescuedogsofinstagram #dogrehabilitation #adoptdontshop
