Accessibility Statement

At Forest Refuge Alliance, we believe the digital world, much like the natural one, should be accessible and welcoming to everyone. We are committed to ensuring that our website is usable by all individuals, regardless of their physical or cognitive abilities.

Our Mission

To provide a digital environment where information and resources are accessible to every visitor, fostering an inclusive community for conservation and advocacy.

Our Commitment to Standards

To ensure a high standard of accessibility, we follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1. These guidelines provide the framework for making web content more accessible for people with various disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, and neurological disabilities.

We actively strive to maintain Level AA conformance across our entire platform.

Key Accessibility Features

We have implemented several technical features to improve the user experience:

  • Keyboard Navigation: Our site is designed to be fully navigable via keyboard, ensuring users who do not use a mouse can access all interactive elements.
  • Screen Reader Optimization: We use semantic HTML and ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to ensure that screen readers can accurately interpret our site's content and structure.
  • Text Alternatives: We provide descriptive Alt Text for images and non-text content, ensuring the context of our visuals is shared with everyone.
  • Visual Clarity: We maintain high color contrast ratios and legible typography to assist users with low vision or color blindness.
  • Responsive Design: Our website is built to function seamlessly across different devices and screen sizes, supporting zoom and text-scaling features.

Ongoing Efforts

The Forest Refuge Alliance views accessibility as a continuous journey. We regularly audit our website and update our content to ensure we are meeting or exceeding current standards. As web technologies evolve, we evolve with them to maintain an inclusive experience.
