Projects
EOCA, with the support of its members from the outdoor industry, provides funding for much needed grassroots conservation, protection and regeneration projects around the world (except in North America and Canada where The Conservation Alliance does similar work).
Since 2006, when EOCA was set up, it has funded nearly 200 projects, investing €5.4m in conservation in 65 countries.
The projects EOCA has funded are varied in location and conservation focus. They have included establishing biking routes to enhance protection of landscapes through ecotourism in Romania and South Africa; cleaning plastic pollution from environments with paddle boarders, hikers, surfers and skiers; restoring, replanting and protecting forests in Scotland, Sweden, France, Indonesia, Spain; and conserving the habitats of bears in Italy and Spain, red squirrels in the UK, orangutans in Borneo and elephants in Thailand…..
The list goes on, AND, every time a new member joins EOCA, or a new project receives funding, the effects are multiplied!
EOCA, its members, and the organisations they support, are helping to make a hands-on nature positive impact.
