The 2022 O’Brien Prize represents the embodiment of our dedication to fostering inclusive conservation efforts that acknowledge and rejoice the contributions of indigenous and all numerous communities to our wildlife. Donal O’Brien III, after whom the prize is called, used to be a fervent supporter of the Nationwide Natural world Shelter Gadget. He admired the determination and effectiveness of Shelter Buddies teams, and we proceed to honor his legacy by means of spotting and supporting the outstanding paintings of organizations just like the Buddies of Missisquoi Nationwide Natural world Shelter.
As we transfer ahead, we envision a long term the place flora and fauna conservation is intrinsically related with cultural preservation, the place the tales of the previous echo thru the wonderful thing about nationwide flora and fauna refuges. In combination, we stand united with the Buddies of Missisquoi and the Abenaki Country of Missisquoi, running hand in hand to create a extra colourful and inclusive long term for our Nationwide Natural world Shelter Gadget.
