The Green family divides their time between Aspen, London, New York City, and The Hamptons. When not engaged in charitable endeavors, they enjoy exploring the great outdoors, whether skiing on the slopes or basking in the summer sunshine.
“As a mother, I recognize the critical importance of this for the next generation. When I consider the climate crisis, worsening statistics, and reports of irreversible damage, I cannot help but think of my daughters and the world they will inherit. We cannot afford to ignore this crisis. While others discuss change, Green Vision leads the way with conservation and anti-poaching projects, along with community outreach programs that make a meaningful impact on the African and global landscapes. Conservation is essential for safeguarding ourselves, our planet, and our future.”
