Climb for Conservation™

Green Girl Climber and artist Olivia Daane Reische of LIVASPENART has painted four butterflies, which are focused on African butterflies and other threatened species, the sales of which will be donated to Climb for Conservation.

As Olivia says:  “I was thrilled to be included in this group of women, the “Green Girl Team”, for our inaugural climb, in a series of peaks, of Kilimanjaro this November.  I had been eager to find a way to take my career as artist and gallery owner and passions for the outdoors and the environment and use them in a way that would broaden their platform, impact and the energy of my personal footsteps and voice.  This is the perfect opportunity to, as the C4C team has set as a goal,  “practice the values of courage, leadership, and purpose to reach the Summit”.”

Welcome to ClimbforConservation.org.  We are a 501(c)(3) Public Charity, EIN: 27-3118371.  Our mission is simple: we climb mountains around the world for a conservation cause.

Conservation is about an ethic of using resources wisely. We believe in maintaining the health of the natural world. Our efforts focus on raising awareness for land, water, and wildlife conservation.

We want to inspire people already climbing mountains, to do it for a cause. Each climb we organize will focus awareness on a specific conservation issue near the mountain being climbed. For example, our kick-off climb up Mt Kilimanjaro, will raise funds for the critically endangered Rhinos in Africa.

There is no doubt that climate change is threatening our planet with unprecedented loss of wildlife and wild places. According to recent studies, unless we take action now, human activities and climate-related change could drive one-half of all species to extinction between now and 2100.
