Mission and programs · 2025
Mission
To inspire and empower people, especially children, to protect nature. Our mission is accomplished through conservation education programs, scientific studies on range-country threatened species, and community development activities.
Activities or mission (Part I)
Inspiring and empowering people to conserve biodiversity through education of children and adults, scientific studies on range-county wildlife, and community development activities.
-
VIETNAM: College-educated volunteers ( > 70 since inception) receive training needed to conduct Little Green Guard conservation education lessons in rural but highly biodiverse areas in central Vietnam. Volunteers (> 100 since inception) create primary and secondary school curricula, as well as supporting educational materials such as teacher's guides and biologically-correct storybooks that highlight regional endangered species. Over 7,000 primary schoolchildren have benefited from these free lessons and materials. Additionally, volunteers conduct social and wildlife research studies to determine knowledge, attitude, and awareness of rural residents toward native threatened species and critical habitat.
Expenses $84,254
-
MADAGASCAR: In partnership with other agencies and NGOs, the communities in and around Anevoka are provided educational and livelihood opportunities. Specifically, more that 500 students annually benefit from lessons taught by our educators as part of the Little Green Guards education program. More than 100 women earn extra income through our GEM program.
Expenses $28,519
-
NEPAL: In Nepal over 60,000 students have participated in educational programs designed to understand and respect native wildlife. College volunteers (> 100 since inception) help design social and biological surveys needed to conduct the scientifically-based gap analysis necessary to design effective education and awareness campaigns targeted at saving threatened wildlife and critical habitats.
Expenses $11,100
-
OTHER: Support ($2,424) of a mature project in Kenya designed to deliver effective education programs, especially to young female students, in rural areas with high biodiversity. Support ($10,305) in the US of students to conduct independent conservation research projects, in particular on degradation of coral reefs.
Expenses $12,729

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.
Grants made
No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Other IRS files
Auto-Revocation List
Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.
Publication 78
Listed as of 11 November 2026, under deductibility PC.
These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
What this page reflects
