Here are five simple things you can do today to make a difference
- Spread the word: Let your friends and family know about the Long Run approach to life – acting today for a better tomorrow. Help them learn more and spread the word by sharing our online resources such as our websites (www.zeitzfoundation.org and www.thelongrun.com ) as well as our Facebook (Zeitz Foundation) and Twitter (@ZeitzFoundation) pages..
- Nominate a Long Run Member: Help us to grow the network of those committed to the Long Run Philosophy by nominating a Long Run Supporter or Long Run Alliance Member.
- Get out there and explore sustainably. Visit a Long Run Destination or Long Run Alliance Member. Though often a lucrative endeavour, tourism can have irreversible negative impacts on communities, regions, cultural heritage, and the environment in many parts of the world. Some of the most severe effects of tourism are environmental degradation, economic instability and inequity, and negative socio-cultural changes. By visiting a Long Run Destination or Long Run Alliance Member, not only will you have a chance to see The Long Run Philosophy – acting today for a better tomorrow - at work, but you will be embarking on the journey toward sustainable living.
- Volunteer: Donate your time and expertise to strengthen the activities within The Long Run Initiative. We are always looking for volunteers passionate in the fields of biodiversity conservation to support the work of members. If you are interested, please contact us.
- Support a 4Cs project. Long Run Destinations carry out a range of projects that aim to achieve their objectives in the 4Cs and ensure sustainable ecosystems management. These destinations often require assistance to meet the implementation costs of these projects. The Zeitz Foundation plays a facilitative role by fundraising on their behalf. You can help by sending a donation to the Zeitz Foundation (by sending an email to donations@zeitzfoundation.org) which will be used directly to support an innovative project which will improve livelihoods of marginalised people and strengthen conservation on the ground.
