The Most Important Education Initiative of Our Generation – Endorsed by Jane Goodall - Needs Your Urgent Support

Jane Goodall Institute Australia (JGIA) has partnered with award winning education group Upschool.co to create the gold standard in ecological education — combining hands-on conservation learning with a digital technology hub that connects classrooms, tracks every action, and makes results visible nationwide and globally. For the first time, schools will also be able to earn JGIA accreditation, recognising their leadership in Roots & Shoots, the world’s largest grassroots conservation movement.
