Hancock Wildlife Foundation believes that through education and research we can better conserve our wildlife resources in the face of human interaction. Given time and encouragement the wildlife of our planet can co-exist with man as shown by the tremendous resurgence of the bald eagle in urban and suburban areas after being almost wiped out by poorly thought out laws and human greed. The Hancock Wildlife Foundation is seeking funding for projects which include research and conservation initiatives. As the foundation grows, we will hire more staff-many younger talented people committed to our cause must still make a living. As David Hancock says, "If we can support that, then that is marvelous. However, it is both my position and belief that we will also find, already have found, so many additional talented people with some time (and or dollars) to give that "community stewardship". You, the volunteers, the stewards' of your community, my community-earth, are our biggest asset."

Raw Earth Foundation mitigates environmental stress and protects wild life habitat through land conservation. We are an organization with the world in mind. At Raw Earth Foundation, we believe the best way to correct the environmental challenges we currently face is to simply let nature take over and do what it does best: provide, sustain, nourish and filter. As a society with limited energy solutions, all with their own environmental costs, we believe the solution is much simpler than restricting energy consumption. We believe it lies solely in protecting the natural systems perfectly designed to filter and process pollutants. Please join us in our mission to protect this sacred resource.
