Raw Earth Foundation mitigates environmental stress and protects wild life habitat through land conservation. We are an organization with the world in mind. At Raw Earth Foundation, we believe the best way to correct the environmental challenges we currently face is to simply let nature take over and do what it does best: provide, sustain, nourish and filter. As a society with limited energy solutions, all with their own environmental costs, we believe the solution is much simpler than restricting energy consumption. We believe it lies solely in protecting the natural systems perfectly designed to filter and process pollutants. Please join us in our mission to protect this sacred resource. Invest in the health of our planet. Invest in a free and clear world. Together we can make a difference.

OUR FOUR PART MISSION: CARING-for abused and neglected farmed animals. PRESERVING-our land for native wildlife. EDUCATING-about animal protection and environmental ethics. ADVOCATING-for a compassionate society In 2013, we rescued our first farmed animals.

Our virtual education programs, in-person tours, events, outreach, and advocacy have reached people worldwide while remaining a safe harbor for locally abused, neglected, and discarded farmed animals. We give each animal that enters our sanctuary the best care possible. Through our rehab and physical therapy program, special dietary needs, and unique emotional needs, we stop at nothing to ensure the animals have everything they need to thrive once they arrive at Tamerlaine, which will now be their forever home.
