Our goals are many. Three overarching goals are:
To improve the well-being of wild animals in human care by providing enrichment and supporting noninvasive enrichment research.
To divert materials from landfills.
To teach animal care professionals how to make and use enrichment for animals in their care from materials otherwise destined for landfills.

To meet our goals we have strategies such as partnering with large corporations, government agencies, and others to facilitate the donation of materials that can be used for animal enrichment and are otherwise destined for landfills. We also hold workshops and provide materials and instructions to teach animal care professionals how to use the materials for animal enrichment. In addition, we hold contests and provide other incentives for animal care professionals to develop and share ways to use diverted, donated materials for animal enrichment.

Hose2Habitat has a on its Board of Directors people who have successfully operated nonprofits and have experience creating partnerships with corporations, government entities, and other organizations. Hose2Habitat founders have worked with over 150 zoos and sanctuaries and continue to develop relationships with animal care professionals. In addition, founders have engineering capabilities and experience as instructors and leaders.

Hose2Habitat tracks donated and diverted materials, facilities served, and participants at workshops. In this way, the organization can track the amount of materials diverted, animal care providers educated, and animals whose lives have been improved through the Hose2Habitat programs.

We have not diverted all usable materials from landfills or improved the life of all wild animals in human care. There is much more to do!
