CHASA CERE TRUST The CHASA CERE Trust resources CHASA's long term strategies in securing the future of hunting. This includes funding for any legal action needed to protect the interests of hunters, and also includes a programme of education of the general public on the need for utilisation and hunting in successful biodiversity conservation. To this end the CHASA CERE Trust supports the Conservation, Education, Research and Empowerment (CERE) Foundation, a section 21 Public Benefit Organisation that has as it's objectives: To support wildlife research and conservation initiatives. To support education of the broad public on the need for utilisation and hunting in successful biodiversity conservation. To support the training of conservationists and hunters. To work towards empowerment of rural communities that make habitat available to wild animals, as well as towards empowerment as hunters and wildlife conservationists of previously disadvantaged individuals. To support conservation and hunting associations and any initiatives or ventures that they might launch in acting in the interest of hunter-conservationists. The CHASA CERE Trust keeps in trust CHASA's fire-arms advocacy and (THETA) training fund, and the trust's yearly operational budget is funded with 20% of CHASA's membership fees.
