Olseth Family Foundation on Instagram
A favorite day celebrating Olseth scholars. Always inspired by these young people.
Foundation director Cheryl Olseth joined fellow WWF National Council members for annual conservation update.
Many successes, including global efforts to 1.) restore and preserve mangrove forests, 2.) celebrated the ten year anniversary of Sumatra’s 30 Hills project, the only area on the planet where elephants, tigers and orangutans live together and 3.) the launch of Nature Needs Us Now, a multi year multi faceted campaign to build awareness of the importance of nature to our very existence.
Did you know, 50% of the oxygen we breathe comes from the oceans??
Thanks to the WWF staff for organizing another fantastic meeting and most importantly their dedication to ensuring a healthy, thriving planet for all of us. 🌎

The Advocates for Human Rights joined partner NGOs from Croatia, Mongolia, Malawi and the Maldives to advocate for improved protections against gender based violence, for LGBTQI+ rights and for abolishment of the death penalty.
We met with state delegates, held a side panel event, met with UN staff representatives and provided oral statements to the High Commission on Human Rights. It was a productive week.
Grateful to join The Advocates for Human Rights and several of their global partners at the United Nations Human Rights convening. Focus issues include: gender based violence, violence against women and children, LBGTQI+ rights and abolition of the death penalty.
Completed third visit in four years to the Steger Wilderness Center.
The center is an architectural masterpiece and a true labor of love. The goal is to bring experts together without distraction to discuss complex global issues and begin finding solutions.
