PERREAULT Magazine FEB | MAR 2015 | Page 9

In 2014, we proudly have built relationships with leaders in the fields of water, oceans, wildlife and nature conservation, human trafficking, international adoption and a child’s right to a permanent family, wildlife protection, and more. This year, we are proactively combining our efforts to connect global causes and cultures, so that you, our readers, will continue to be exposed to wondrous accomplishments by not only leaders, but by people like you, me, us.

When I was envisioning PERREAULT Magazine, I wanted to create an engaging and immersive publication by providing diversity, rich content, and the tools to engage. The digital format provides the tools: in each publication, we offer videos, films, music, talks, and hyperlinked text allowing to donate, volunteer, and further be educated on the topics covered.

In this February-March issue, we are featuring Conservation International and their campaign Nature Is Speaking. Nature has a lot to say, a lot to share with us. We invite you to watch and listen carefully to the eight beautifully produced movies about the soil, coral reef, flower, water, redwood, ocean, mother nature, and the rainforest. Every person on Earth deserves a healthy environment and the fundamental benefits that nature provides. But our planet is experiencing an unprecedented degradation of these resources (example: fracking), and it is only by protecting nature and its gifts – a stable climate, fresh water, healthy oceans and reliable food – that we can ensure a better life for everyone, everywhere.

In our ‘Help Support A Cause’ section, we are featuring Tusk Trust, an organization established in response to the dire need of protecting and preserving Africa’s natural heritage and wildlife, and celebrating their 25th anniversary this year.

With the recent events in Paris - still fresh in the whole world’s memory - many debates have arisen, the most notorious being the attack on Freedom of Speech. Complete free speech may not exist. In fact, it can be subject to the laws of different countries. Perhaps the recent events provoked us to defend our right to be protected from people who do not want to be part of the greater concept of being peaceful, of the shared knowledge that hurting others does not make sense in our societies, and that we do not want to live in fear of attacks on people under any circumstance.

Long live freedom of expression, religious tolerance, and cultural diversity.

Je suis Charlie.
