MANIFESTO

THE TRUE GREEN ALLIANCE (TGA)

A Non-Government & Public Benefit Organisation

(Inaugurated 27th February 2016)

VISION

To create a southern African society, and ultimately a global one, that:

  • Understands the principles and practices of sustainable wildlife management.
  • Recognizes the necessity of sustainable utilisation of living resources for the benefit of humanity.
  • Embraces the animal welfare philosophy while rejecting the animal rights doctrine.

MISSION

  • To deploy a trained, responsible, and passionate team of experts to counteract animal rights propaganda actively.
  • To reverse pro-animal rights perceptions within societies and governments in southern Africa.
  • To educate society on all aspects of the TGA vision.
  • To form a credible and respected alliance of individuals, businesses, and NGOs involved in managing living resources, working together to achieve TGA’s vision.

CORE VALUES

TGA promotes caring for the earth and sustainable living practices. We emphasize the sustainable use of living resources and foster correct societal and governmental attitudes toward sustainable wildlife management and conservation.

WORLD CONSERVATION STRATEGY (1980)

The principles of the TGA are grounded in the World Conservation Strategy (WCS), declared in 1980. This strategy was later revised in 1991 and renamed “Caring for the Earth, A Strategy for Sustainable Living.” It serves as a blueprint for the coexistence of humanity and nature on Earth.

Objectives of Living Resource Conservation:

  1. Maintain Essential Ecological Processes
    • Support systems like soil regeneration, nutrient recycling, and water cleansing that are critical for human survival and development.
  2. Preserve Genetic Diversity
    • Ensure the survival of genetic material vital for ecological processes, breeding programs, scientific advancements, and industries relying on living resources.
  3. Ensure Sustainable Utilisation of Resources
    • Promote sustainable practices for fish, wildlife, forests, and grazing lands to support rural communities and industries.

TGA upholds these objectives and opposes any activities that hinder their achievement. We believe the WCS remains vital for the survival of both humanity and nature.

THE GREEN MOVEMENT

TGA supports the legitimate components of the Green Movement:

  1. TRUE Environmentalism
    • Strives to ensure a habitable and healthy environment.
    • Supports the three objectives of the WCS for the benefit of humanity and all living resources.
  2. TRUE Animal Welfare
    • Advocates for humane treatment of animals used by humans.
    • Oversees standards for ethical and cruelty-free treatment.
  3. Animal Rights Doctrine (Rejected)
    • Opposes the sustainable use of living resources.
    • Advocates for animals’ rights to life equal to humans, often infringing on others’ legitimate rights.

NB: Join TGA in promoting sustainable practices, educating society, and forming alliances to achieve our vision. Together, we can preserve our planet for future generations.
