The European Outdoor Conservation Association (EOCA) is has announced that both Osprey Europe and Pacsafe have each committed to sponsor a conservation project through EOCA, and so become Summit Members. Pacsafe, whose logo incorporates a turtle, has committed $20,000 to a project that will address the threats to the Leatherback, Green and Hawksbill turtles on the remote Pacuare beach in Costa Rica. Measures will include habitat restoration, beach patrols, an egg hatchery and education.
Osprey Europe, leaders in innovative backpacks, have committed €28,800 to support Bird Conservation Georgia’s project to address the threat of hunting to over one million raptors which migrate through the foothills of the Lesser Caucasus in Georgia each migration season. This innovative project aims to make it easier to access and enjoy the spectacle of the birds’ migration, and support and educate local people in how to promote bird watching and eco-tourism as an alternative to hunting.
Catherine Savidge, Joint General Manager of EOCA said “We are delighted that Pacsafe and Osprey Europe have both decided to sponsor a project through the Association. We get many requests for funding of vitally important conservation projects each year and it is very rewarding to be able to match worthwhile projects with forward- thinking companies committed to putting something back into outdoor environments. We are proud to reward their tremendous commitments and contributions with Summit Membership status of EOCA.”
