Our Network
We have aligned ourselves with a broad network of likeminded organisations who have all, in one way or another, offered to help raise the profile of Adventure Ecology through their existing networks.
The aim of working together is that collectively we can help raise awareness and educate others on the issues of not only global warming and climate change but all that impacts negatively on the environment and what we can all do to help – no matter how big or small the contribution might be.
We realise that this will take more than just one group, by working together we can reach tens of millions of young people.
