The Green Vision Foundation recognizes the
critical need for a path towards a sustainable future to protect
the planet for generations.
BRIDGEHAMPTON, N.Y., July 11,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Footprint of Life Gala
hosted by The Green Vision founders, Amy
and Gary Green in Bridgehampton,
NY on August 15, 2024 is sure
to be one of the most exciting events of the season. The event's
proceeds will benefit The Green Vision Foundation and their mission
to combat the illegal wildlife trade, protect endangered species,
and preserve our planet's biodiversity and dwindling natural
resources.
The Green family divides their time between Aspen, London, New York
City, and The Hamptons. When not engaged in charitable
endeavors, they enjoy exploring the great outdoors, whether skiing
on the slopes or basking in the summer sunshine.
"As a mother, I recognize the critical importance of this for
the next generation. When I consider the climate crisis, worsening
statistics, and reports of irreversible damage, I cannot help but
think of my daughters and the world they will inherit. We cannot
afford to ignore this crisis. While others discuss change, Green
Vision leads the way with conservation and anti-poaching projects,
along with community outreach programs that make a meaningful
impact on the African and global landscapes. Conservation is
essential for safeguarding ourselves, our planet, and our
future."
