The Natural Investigation

There are a great many positively motivated organisations around the world attempting to achieve very similar outcomes in very different settings. That is, conserving, regenerating and preserving natural ecosystems and promoting the health of individuals living within them. It is of no surprise that these efforts are widespread, as the damage that merits their existence is more common still.

Now like never before, we humans have exponentially increased our capability for destruction far beyond what they were. However, our capabilities for positive change have also increased manifold. With the rise of industrialised food production and improved healthcare, infant mortality is falling and life expectancy is rising. This means more people must be supported by our planet.

Effective communication is required between data-based science, mediating communication outlets and those in policy-making positions. They are inextricably linked and must operate with the utmost transparency and integrity. When looking at these organisations from the outside, they can seem untouchable, their driving principles occasionally lost in translation. When we hear their names, they are often mentioned in news bulletins, referred to as a source of data or the issuer of a statement regarding a topical issue. 

The NI aims to provide information regarding the aims of ongoing projects. By informing people of these organisations, perhaps engagement with them will increase and people with no previous interest in helping such causes will do so, improving their effectivity in protecting the health of us and the natural world we depend on.
