“When we listen to animals, we begin to hear our own hearts.” Randolph Oudemans

Advancing Conservation through Empathy

What truly opens our hearts and motivates us to take care of the world around us? Many conservation groups as well as wildlife parks and zoos have found that empathy is the magic and essential ingredient!

Many studies confirm that pro-environmental attitudes and behaviors are co-related to high levels of empathy.

We offer a range or programs for designed to help people connect with animals, the natural world, and their own hearts.

Why Empathy Matters

Experiencing empathy enlivens us to share our energy, attention, and care with animals and the natural world. It is empowering!
Empathy is a very personal experience and is felt in our hearts. It is very different from an intellectual or cognitive understanding.

Without empathy, the positive impact of conservations programs is severely lessened.

Empathy can be developed. Just like any other skills, such as playing tennis or playing the piano, empathy can be learned and practices.

Ultimately, by incorporating empathy practices into conservation and wildlife programs, people are moved from awareness to action.

Inspiring Actions to Protect Wildlife

Most of us really do care and really to wish to have a positive impact in the world and be kinder to the environment and the natural world.

Yet many of us don’t know how. This is where we come in. We offer clear, engaging programs designed to help you focus your care and turn it into concrete actions.

“The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched, they are felt with the heart”. (Antoine de Saint-Exupery, The Little Prince”.)
