Our Team
People united by a passion for forests, wildlife and ecological restoration.
Earthings Nature Foundation began in January 2023 with just 10 people from different professional backgrounds, connected by a common passion for forests. What started as a WhatsApp group has grown into a community of more than 1,200 members working together for nature and conservation.

A growing community of nature enthusiasts, professionals, volunteers and conservation supporters connected by a common purpose.
Earthings Nature Foundation began with a group of 10 individuals from different professions and backgrounds. What brought them together was not their occupation, but their shared passion for forests and wildlife. The founding members laid the foundation for ENF's philosophy of collective action, responsible participation and hands-on conservation.
"Different professions. One passion. One journey for nature."
