Supporting the National Wildlife Federation's rescue in the Gulf.
Posted by Kalani Iwiula on Thu, Dec 02, 2010
The National Wildlife Federation and state affiliates in the Gulf are organizing and deploying teams of volunteers to observe the more than 10,000 miles of shoreline along the Gulf Coast. To monitor the impact of the BP oil spill, these surveillance teams will:
- Make daily tours of key coastal sites.
- Notify trained rescue and rehabilitation teams of oiled or trained wildlife.
- Help watch for signs of the oil spill to new areas in the Gulf region.
We were happy to support Wildlife Victoria's rescue efforts of wildlife after the ravaging Victorian bushfire of Feb. 2009, Australia's worst bushfire on record. We proudly supported the Red Cross' rebuilding effort of the Jan. 2010 earthquake which devastated the island nation of Haiti. Similarly, Human Synergistics will donate a portion of all Survival Simulation sales to the National Wildlife Federation’s Gulf Oil Spill Restoration Fund through October 15, 2010. Donations will go toward training volunteers and putting together Gulf Coast Surveillance Teams for both immediate and long-term wildlife rehabilitation.
For more than 30 years, Human Synergistics has provided businesses and organizations with an interactive survival-themed, team-building exercise designed to:
- Teach the interpersonal (people) and rational (task) behaviors involved in successful teamwork
- Demonstrate the impact of constructive group styles on performance
- Improve group problem-solving skills and decision-making effectiveness
- Strengthen cooperation and communication among group members
