Mission: Environmental Stewardship

A Rocha is an international Christian organization which, inspired by God’s love, engages in scientific research, environmental education and community-based conservation projects.

Vision: Transformational Engagement

Our vision is the transformation of people and places into healthy communities through a movement of individuals and groups, caring for God’s world.

Restoring salmon habitat, training young scientists, inspiring school children, feeding low-income families–A Rocha is transforming people and places through hands-on conservation projects, environmental education programs and sustainable agriculture initiatives.

Values: The 5 C’s of A Rocha

Christian – Underlying all we do is our biblical faith in the living God, who made the world, loves it and entrusts it to the care of human society.

Conservation – We carry out research for the conservation and restoration of the natural world and run environmental education programs for people of all ages.

Community – Through our commitment to God, each other and the wider creation, we aim to develop good relationships both within the A Rocha family and in our local communities.

Cross-cultural – We draw on the insights and skills of people from diverse cultures, both locally and around the world.

Cooperation – We work in partnership with a wide variety of organisations and individuals who share our concerns for a sustainable world.
