A Rocha is an international family of Christian conservation organizations. Our mission is to inspire and equip Christians to know and love their local places through practical, community-focused conservation.
We work to foster a deeper understanding and love of the places we live, work, and learn. Our aim is to help Christians better understand our place in God’s full creation and our responsibilities to help it flourish.
Specifically, we engage churches, schools, neighborhood groups, and individuals to provide three primary services:
- Community-based Conservation
- Environmental Education
- Scientific Research
Our name {uh RAW sha} is Portuguese for “the rock” and is titled for an actual place in the Algarve region of southern Portugal where A Rocha got it start. Since the early 80’s, A Rocha has grown to include 20 countries internationally.
Feel free to contact us if you have questions or would like further information.
