The African Conservation Fund - Phillips Environmental supports ACF safaris

Phillips Environmental supports ACF safaris

Sunday, 27 January 2008
We are pleased to announce a new partnership with Phillips Environmental Products, Inc., an innovative family-based company in Montana. Phillips has donated their outstanding PETT dry toilet systems for our new Adventure Safaris, which begin in 2008. These ingenious systems will allow us to operate our all-camping overland safaris safely for our participants (each vehicle will have its own private latrine shelter and PETT toilet, so we don't have to worry about people wandering off into the bush with the lions and elephants and buffaloes) as well as cleanly for the environment. A big thanks to this outstanding company, whose commitment to community and the environment shows in their products as well as their actions.

FACT FILE

In early 2004 a United Nations meeting was convened in New York for the ninth year in a row to push for passage of a resolution protecting the territorial and human rights of indigenous peoples . . . During the meeting an indigenous delegate who did not identify herself rose to state that while extractive industries were still a serious threat to their welfare and cultural integrity, their new and biggest enemy was "conservation."
