"Action For Nature, Inc. is an international non-profit organization based in San Francisco, California, that encourages young people to take personal action to better their environments and to foster love and respect for nature. Founded by Shimon Schwarzschild, whose personal environmental initiative is an inspiring story, the AFN board believes that the long-term health of our planet and all who live on it depends upon reaching young people with this message:
Learn to love and respect the natural world in which you live. Do not be afraid to take action to stop or hinder the degradation of your personal environment and the annihilation of many of the creatures including human beings - found in it.
Personal action is a powerful weapon in the battle to keep our planet alive and well. When taken, it can slow down a river's pollution; help preserve the ancient growth of trees threatened by cutters; and increase the survival of songbirds.
Our International Young Eco-Heroes Awards program recognizes and encourages children and teens who have completed a project to "foster respect and affection for nature through personal action." And our book, Acting for Nature, shows how effective personal action can be. This wonderful collection shares stories of young people who took personal action to help the environment; the book is an inspiration to all who read it."
