Eating plant-based is doing good for all

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 11:48:13 +0200

Many of us grow up believing that milk, cheese and other animal products are part of everyday life. Yet when we look closely at how these foods reach our plates, we discover a reality that is very different from the cheerful images in the ads. Behind the scenes, for animals, the journey means suffering and pain that is unnatural and inhumane.

It’s finally here, the very first Jane Goodall Day

We’re not just remembering her. We’re continuing her work. Because that’s exactly what she would have wanted.
Jane always believed every single one of us has the power to make a difference. Not someday. Today. With one action, however small.

Let's come together and celebrate the incomparable Jane by doing something she believed in: taking action, big or small, to benefit people, animals, and our shared environment. This could mean picking up trash in your neighborhood, choosing a plant-based diet for the day, or opting to commute by bike or by foot. Jane often reminded us that small, individual actions add up to a big impact — and we can think of no better way to honor this icon than by taking collective action in her name.

We are really grateful and proud of what we achieved this year :

More than 12,745 trees planted all over Belgium with 6 tree plantings organised, which supports the reforestation of 275,000 trees in Burundi.
Our commitment to education and youth empowerment led us to conduct 333 workshops with 6,923 children across Belgium, we have nearly doubled since last year!
We received more than 2000€ of donations for helping the chimps and supporting our work in Chimp Eden sanctuary and Dindefelo Reserve in Africa. To our actual Chimp Guardians who have supported the centra on a recurrent basis, we express our deepest gratitude for being part of this mission year after year.
