Our Services

We deliver Wellbeing-Centered sustainability metrics and design solutions through our Wild Happiness Approach—a peer-reviewed, field-tested process that helps organizations to design and measure sustainability strategies that actually work for both people and the planet.

We believe that social outcomes drive enduring environmental outcomes. Without community trust and leadership, projects falter. With them, they flourish.

“Wellbeing Centered Design” is OneNature’s holistic approach to the measurement of human wellbeing that permits the integration of measurement of wellbeing of nature and of communities. We do this using a systems-based framework that is tailored to address the complex challenges involved in achieving permanence in sustainable development.

The Wild Happiness Approach: 4 step process

 360° Community Wellbeing Assessment™

Understand what communities and stakeholders value — and what’s getting in the way of community buy-in sustainability success.

Includes the exclusive, peer-reviewed Wild Happiness Survey and methodology

  • Mixed-methods research methods: including interviews, focus group discussions, observation, literature review, and contextual data
  • Centers cultural, social, and spiritual factors that are often overlooked in traditional assessments

Insight & Alignment

Bring partners — communities, NGOs, governments, businesses — together to reflect on impacts, outcomes, behaviors, power dynamics, and opportunities.

  • Clarify which partner behaviors need to shift
  • Understand what all partners value as benefits
  • Build trust, transparency, and alignment
  • Set the foundation for shared goals and co-creation
  • Build capacity to continue the use of  wellbeing metrics and analytical methods

Co-Creation & Solution Design

Design practical, scalable interventions aligned with community values and wellbeing priorities.

  • Use wellbeing-centered design, drawing from experience across geographies and sectors
  • Establish a baseline against which to measure progress
  • Test through pilot projects and iterate
  • Build culturally grounded solutions with real impact, drawing upon field research into attitudes and practices, resource rights and allocation norms, historical and current patterns of resource use, and understanding of competing interests related to the resource base.

4 Ongoing Impact Monitoring

Track social and sustainability outcomes over time using a baseline and control groups where practicable.

  • Includes a secure database and data protection provisions, community-led tools, and feedback loops
  • Acts as an early-warning system to identify changes in sentiment within communities that could adversely affect project sustainability or permanence
  • Builds the case for impact, leading to scaling, replication, and funding
  • Feeds learning into broader sets of global indicators and into policy design

Targeted Solutions

At OneNature, whether you need full support across a project lifecycle or targeted solutions, our modular offerings are tailored to meet your specific needs and resources.

Direct Support 

We provide both comprehensive consulting across the full project cycle—Wellbeing Assessment, Alignment, Co-Design and Monitoring—and modular, stand-alone services that can be selected independently.

Example: A partner may choose to begin with a wellbeing assessment or focus solely on training and certification.

This flexible structure makes our services accessible to organizations of all sizes, stages, and sectors—including land uses such as tourism, energy, economic development,  and agriculture.
