==Purpose==

== Your Spelling Changes ==

The stated purpose of The Earth Organization is:

Please read the Manual of Style on spelling. You are changing articles about non-British (or -Commonwealth) spellings to British (or Commonwealth). This violates Wikipedia guidelines, and irritates a lot of people. Good luck, and welcome. --[[User:Justice for All|Justice for All]] 12:29, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

:Your spelling changes to [[Playhouse Square Center]] have been reverted. Please do not change American spellings to Commonwealth spellings in articles about American places. Please see the [[WP:MOS#National_varieties_of_English|Manual of Style]] if you have any questions about this policy. Thank you. [[User:Confiteordeo|Confiteordeo]] 20:22, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

#''To create a fundamental change in mankind’s awareness of, and relationship to, his environment and the plant and animal kingdoms, by example and education, thereby reversing the downward spiral of life on Earth.''

#''To bridge the gap between mankind, industry, commerce and the environment through applicable environmentalism, workable tools, accurate data and a business and scientific approach to the field of the environment.''

#''To raise ethical standards within the conservation movement.''

The Earth Organization has a strong scientific orientation and a reputation for bold conservation initiatives, including the rescue of the [[Baghdad zoo]] during the coalition [[invasion of Iraq]] in April 2003, negotiations with the infamous Ugandan [[Lords Resistance Army]], to protect game rangers and raise awareness of endangered species, including the [[Northern White Rhinoceros]], and work with remote rural African communities to rebuild cultural and traditional ties to nature.

Through the activities of its scientific advisory board, The Earth Organization forwards and supports environmental education, targeting different age and culture groups, with the intention of firmly entrenching environmental education as a part of the syllabus of educational institutions.

The Earth Organization is registered as an independent non-profit organization in South Africa, with branches in the USA, France, Canada, Hungary and Slovakia.
