People protect what they love

The crucial building block for saving Nature is people’s love, understanding and connection to the natural world.

People protect what they love.

Every story of the successful protection of Nature globally, starts with one person who had a love for place, and realised they had a responsibility to act.

Every successful effort to conserve Nature starts with one person's love of place.

Stories build community and shape our future

Humans are a story-telling species. It's how we understand the world and our place within it. The most powerful way to share a love of Nature with a broader community has always been through story. One of the Kuno Foundation’s roles is to provide support to help people and groups present their place well and to share powerful stories of their work for its protection.

Childhood connection with Nature is foundational

Most (but not all) people who dedicate their lives to the protection of Nature, gained that love through formative childhood experiences. A love for Nature is crucial to childhood happiness, development, wellbeing and commitment to its conservation.

The Kuno Foundation’s Kids & Nature program seeks to support local communities, people and groups engaged in promoting childhood connection with, understanding, learning/education and commitment to Nature.

Childhood connection with the Natural world is critical for kids' healthy development, and critical to the future of life on Earth.
