OneNature: Transforming the Future of Conservation
At OneNature, we believe that the well-being of all beings—humans, animals, and ecosystems—is deeply interconnected. Our work is rooted in the conviction that true conservation goes beyond protecting landscapes; it is about nurturing the relationships between people and the natural world. By integrating human well-being with conservation, we create lasting impacts that benefit both nature and communities.
Our Vision: Wellbeing for All Beings
The natural world is essential to our happiness and health. Yet, the value of nature and wildlife is often overlooked in the metrics that drive societal decisions. As species disappear at alarming rates and human communities face unprecedented challenges, the time has come to rethink how we measure progress and value our planet’s treasures.
Deepening the Connection: Inspiring Cultural and Spiritual Connections to Nature and Wildlife
We believe that the bonds between humans and the natural world are not just physical but also deeply spiritual and cultural. Our work in this area aims to inspire individuals and communities to reconnect with nature in profound ways, recognizing that these connections are essential for our collective well-being. Whether through stories, art, or immersive experiences, we seek to awaken a sense of wonder and responsibility for the wild world that sustains us.
Wild Happiness Projects: Supporting Communities and Creating the Evidence Base for Wellbeing in Conservation
We partner with communities around the globe to design and implement projects that uplift human well-being while protecting wildlife and habitats. Through rigorous research and on-the-ground initiatives, we demonstrate how conservation efforts can improve lives, fostering a deeper connection between people and nature. Our Wild Happiness Projects are creating the evidence base and community support needed to redefine conservation success, ensuring that the well-being of all beings is at the heart of our efforts.
Transforming Conservation: Creating and Promoting Wellbeing in Conservation
Conservation is at a crossroads. Traditional approaches have often overlooked the importance of human well-being, leading to solutions that are unsustainable and inequitable. At OneNature, we are leading the charge to transform conservation by creating a Wellbeing Standard that integrates human happiness into the fabric of conservation strategies. By promoting policies and practices that value the well-being of all beings, we are building a movement for transformative change—one that ensures the survival of wildlife and the flourishing of human communities.
Join Us: Be a Part of the Change
The future of our planet depends on a new approach to conservation—one that values well-being as much as biodiversity. By supporting OneNature, you become a part of this vital movement. Together, we can create a world where humans and wildlife thrive in harmony, securing a future of happiness, interconnection, and well-being for all beings.
