Native to Earth: Who are we?
Native to Earth is a collection of creatives passionate about conserving the natural world.
We exist to unite audiences’ understanding of the Earth’s offerings, the truth about their misuse and vulnerability, and to empower everyone to make positive change. We aim to document the natural world whilst carrying a responsibility to communicate the truth about both the challenges and how to overcome them.
What is our vision?
Our vision is for people across the globe to reconnect with nature and to unite as Natives of the Earth. We aim to achieve this through exposure to alternative perspectives of what it means to live sustainably, cherish nature’s offerings, and value the work it takes to protect and live in harmony with the natural world, enriching people’s lives in the process.
