glassybaby
For more than a decade, the glassybaby community has stepped forward to invest in the conservation projects with the greatest need. In December 2017 glassybaby was awarded with Conservation International's Conservation Hero award in honor of their environmental commitment and the transformative impact their support has had on the planet we all share. At glassybaby, they say that they are interested in supporting big, innovative projects that can change the world. Two years ago the glassybaby community began its work to create a home for orphaned baby elephants. That led to the launch of the Reteti Elephant sanctuary and to the continued support of wildlife protection in the region.
