The Blue Sky Society Trust is an independent NPO working to create a community of like-minded, passionate individuals and connecting them, through education and action, to worthwhile projects that help to preserve and improve life for people, animals, and communities in need. Founder of the Blue Sky Society Trust, Carla Geyser, is an adventurer, eco-warrior and humanitarian.
Carla said: “I was always attracted to adventure and helping animals. In 2013 and 2014 I worked with the Kingsley Holgate Foundation promoting their rhino art project.”
“I was involved with the organising committee that ran the First World Youth Rhino Summit at Hluhluwe Umfolozi in 2014, and after that, I worked for the Lawrence Anthony Earth Organisation.”

Carla’s love for travel and adventure led to her organising and leading two expeditions for international tourists who wanted to explore Africa, and that experience made her more determined to expose people to nature and make them aware of pressing conservation issues.

“Last year I lead a tremendously exciting expedition into Africa to raise awareness for the plight of elephants. The Elephant Ignite expedition was unique as the team was comprised of only women, and we travelled almost 16 000 km through ten countries in 100 days, visiting vital conservation projects along the way”
“We made an incredible impact, our journey was filmed for various projects and we managed to donate much needed money and equipment to some of the projects we visited,” said Carla.
