A Rocha USA is engaged in ecolocial conservation through practical, community-based actions, scientific research, and environmental education. Two major challenges we address are the worldwide decline of vulnerable species and their habitats, and the lack of participation by Christian groups responding to these issues. A Rocha USA is engaged in actions to meet both of these challenges. A Rocha invests its efforts in local communities, engaging in conservation that benefits both the species and the people who live there, often through effective partnerships with other organizations, and in cross-cultural situations.
