Evolving Generation Foundation “Evolving Gen” is an NGO incorporated under the Virginia State Corporation Commission with a mission to protect the planet, it is on the front line in the fight against pollution, deforestation and food waste. Egen Foundation mission is to build a future where humans and nature coexist in harmony. Egen achieve that by leveraging educational tools to conserve nature and reduce the most pressing threats to the diversity of life on Earth. Thus, reducing humanity’s environmental footprint and ensuring the sustainable use of natural resources to support current and future generations. Some of Egen Foundation works include the following: Combat Against Pollution: Air, land, and water pollution caused about 90 million premature deaths in the last decades, or 16% of all deaths worldwide. About 92% of all pollution-related mortality is seen in low-income and middle-income countries, with the poor, marginalized, and young hardest hit by the health effects of the contamination. EvolvingGen is committed to support countries most severely impacted by pollution by providing technical assistance on pollution management, facilitating knowledge generation and sharing, and raising awareness about the detrimental impact on global health. Combat Against Deforestation: The world’s forests are our last line of defence in mitigating climate change, stopping the extinction of wildlife and helping prevent the next pandemic. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the world’s forest cover has declined by almost 10 percent since 1990. This loss is due to several factors, including the expansion of agriculture, logging, and urbanization. Given the wealth of information that the foundation holds, the foundation is placing itself to look at the connections between the illegal wildlife trade, illegal logging and deforestation to promote effective policy and enforcement responses. Combat Against Food Waste: Currently, at least one-third of all food produced worldwide is wasted. When food is wasted, all the energy and resources used to create that food are wasted too. This is a huge problem for people and the planet. To make matters worse, if that food ends up in landfills it produces methane – a greenhouse gas up to 86 times stronger than carbon dioxide. The evidence is becoming too hard to ignore. Food systems reform is critical to tackling the planetary crisis of climate change, nature and biodiversity loss and pollution and waste.

Hello Adetomiwa, this is your mentor Chelwoon.
Thank you for introducing us to an NGO working for the planet! You have listed their works which are all what we must deal with in order to preserve the environment. The problems that we are facing are all connected to each other. That is the reason why most NGO deal with not only one issue but various issues.
Thank you for the article!
Regards,
Chelwoon

Hello Adetomiwa, this is your mentor Joon.
The role of Non Governmental Organizations are crucial as they are the ones giving out the voices when converging the public opinion among the crowds. More people should be interested on what NGOs do.
It was a pleasure for me to mentor you on past 6 months. What I feel, and realize now is that I have not been knowledgeable enough to provide more information related to different subjects. Hope you could keep up with environmental activities as well as your other works. Once again, thank you for following me.
Well read your article, and let's keep up!
Best,
Joon
