Message from Samantha Dewhirst, ConserveOurEarth founder;

"I have wanted to set up a charity based around conservation and primates since the age of sixteen, I still have my old Power Point displays and mission statements which I wrote for the idea when I was in college. I with the help of a more technical friend purchased the domain name when I was just 17 years old.  Back then I had the passion and the conscience of wanting to use my life to do good things. Now, I have gained experience in world wide organisations and even had the pleasure of volunteering for my personal hero Jane Goodall. I have witnessed the fall of a sanctuary of which the animals within it etched themself deep into my heart and solidly into my conscience, these same animals are now living at another sanctuary, along with baby orphan baboons which I raised, Liberty and Faith, and loved like they were my own children. These special individuals face a hopeless future if I do not fight for them. I now have a solid reason and goal for a charity, and it is to secure a future, a life again for the primates which are in my heart and on my conscience. Each one is unique, they giggle, they laugh, they squabble, they feel fear, they become hopeless and everyday when I go to greet them, to see how they survived the cold nights, they look at me with the same eyes, as if to say; "well we can't release ourselves, when are you going to get us out." If we do nothing for these wonderful creatures, how will they have a future. I cannot make a future for these individuals alone, I need help from every single person who is willing."
