Greenforce

The inspiration for Greenforce came from the Earth Summit held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. This was the first global recognition of the urgent need to preserve the diversity of life on earth, culminating in a resolve of 168 countries to undertake bio diversity surveys of their "at risk" regions.

Section 3c states that if the host country does not have the resource to undertake this work then an international aid organization would be invited in by the host country. Greenforce is one of those organisations.

There is not the financial backing to protect all areas. Protected zones, National or Marine Parks must survive economically as well as environmentally. Greenforce therefore works along side the local people to develop a long term sustainable action plan. We aim to ensure that when Greenforce leaves a region the future of that region will continue in balance between nature and human needs.

Greenforce is part of the Gapforce family.
