foster profound connections with the natural world, promote nature’s agency in our societies,
and spark new scientific endeavours.
Nature Perspectives has already helped thousands of people reconnect with the natural world – from a young child who returns each morning to speak with the hedgehog in her garden, to people meditating beside their local river, guided by its voice; from an architect consulting the sun for light and shadow mapping, to students asking a museum dodo what they can do to prevent species loss. Every day we discover new ways people wish to engage:
“I felt connected with the animals. These were specimens which I would probably have walked past otherwise and not thought about their lives.”
“Pedagogically speaking the experience was very satisfying - quite different from inert labels along specimens. Dynamic would be a good descriptive word.”
“We definitely need more of this to engage younger visitors especially!”
“It made me feel like me and the animal were on the "same level" in a way, like they were just as important as another human being would be.”
“Not only was I was able to ask all sorts of questions I might not have asked any members of staff in case they thought they were stupid questions, I could even ask further questions when I did not understand part of the answer.”
“I was really impressed with using AI in this way and the answers were really good - a great way for all ages to learn.”
“I had the impression that this technology has huge potential for taking visitors deeper into the subject matter.”
Helping people see, hear, and experience nature in new ways.
Transforming learning about nature into learning from and with nature.
Ensuring nature a seat at the table in policymaking, legal representation, business boards, and beyond
