Go Conscious Earth

Godi is founder of Go Conscious Earth, a nonprofit dedicated to raising awareness about the devastation that logging and extraction of conflict minerals is causing in his home country of Democratic Republic of the Congo. Go Conscious Earth's vision is to respect nature, preserve ancestral land, and protect the rainforest ecosystem by supporting sustainable and healthy lives for the people who live there. Together with Dilo Assistance (a Congolese NGO) and Bantomba tribal leaders, Go Conscious Earth is working to acquire the land rights to the Bantomba ancestral lands in the Lac Tumba region, in the heart of the Nsoli rainforest. They’ll hold the conservation agreement to these lands and partner with international NGOs to help preserve the environment and the way of life for the Bantomba and Pygmy people.  He is currently searching for a publisher for the memoir he is writing about his life and his ongoing efforts to preserve the Congolese rainforest.
