The Goal<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Building environmental ethic, collective intelligence and transformative leadership for sustainability.\u00a0Encourage youth hands-on learning experiences for environmental awareness.<\/em><\/p>\n

As a think tank based in a cultural and biological diversity hotspot, Southeast Asia, we not only attempt to communicate research on the inter-linkages between health, biodiversity and sustainability but also encourage experiencing the healing and transformative influence of nature in practice as an education tool.<\/p>\n

We implement research, education, awareness and capacity-building activities based on the realization that health and biodiversity are social values often shaped through markedly different lenses determined by life experiences, cultural values, educational standard and professional silos. We thrive in attempting to merge these worldviews, break these compartments and to foster a shared understanding of the interconnectedness of life. We believe that connecting with nature is connecting with ourselves deeply and intimately. For that to happen, we provide an innovative platform to insure this reconnection is happening as early as possible.<\/p>\n

The Solution<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We organize workshops and field activities that combine scientific communication with experiential learning in awe-inspiring places. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Through place-based education pedagogy, implementing nature-based activities, and communicating science, we attempt to highlight the holistic dimension of health, the therapeutic role of nature and the many ways we depend and influence nature. These activities include an ongoing forum \u201cbiodiversity and health\u201d, an emerging \u201cyoung citizen-researchers\u201d program, the organization of character-driven and place-based educational experiences, environmental literacy curriculum development with faculties of education, as well as a series of ecosystem-based research and development projects throughout the southeast Asian region.<\/p>\n

Through these activities and this methodology, we attempt to overcome the inherent compartmentalization of knowledge in order to bridge worldviews and foster collective intelligence, awe and respect for the variability of life forms and cultural heritages that abound in Southeast Asia. We see this effort as an essential educational and capacity-building endeavour towards sustainability. We work with governmental institutions (parks, universities) as well as schools and educational organizations to offer unique experiences at the interface between nature, people and sustainability.<\/p>\n

Although we adapt our communication strategy to our widely different audiences, we use the same understanding of health, nature and sustainability, based on the realization that we all belong to the same tree of life.<\/p>\n
