At OneNature, our mission has always been to put the well-being of people and the conservation of wildlife at the heart of conservation, and thanks to you, we&#8217;ve made meaningful strides toward this vision.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This year, your generosity has helped us deepen our work in communities that live alongside nature, supporting them in ways that honor their connection to the land, wildlife, and each other. From the hills of Rwanda to the valleys of Laos, we\u2019ve seen firsthand how a focus on well-being can transform ecosystems and lives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Reflecting on the Past Year: Your Impact<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we look back, we are filled with gratitude for the milestones we\u2019ve achieved together:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/onenatureinstitute.org\/stories\/blog\/community-conservation-and-cultural-integration-in-rwanda-launching-onenatures-wild-happiness-project-with-red-rocks-initiative\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Supporting Communities in Rwanda:<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Your support allowed us to partner with Red Rocks Initiative in conducting a well-being survey for communities near Volcanoes National Park. As the park expands to accommodate a growing mountain gorilla population, these communities face new challenges.
