In Our Nature

In Our Nature is a not-for-profit organisation registered under the Associations Incorporation Act, 1984, and is an affiliate member of Friends of the Earth Australia (www.foe.org.au). We have no religious or political affiliation; we simply believe in two principles: 1) nature is of fundamental importance, both for its intrinsic value and for its value as a life-support system; and 2) all people have the right to an adequate standard of living for themselves and their families, including adequate food, clothing and housing, and to the continuous improvement of living conditions (pursuant to Article 11, section 1 of the United Nations International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights).

We aim to assist developing communities in preserving the ecosystems that they interact with and in enhancing the quality of life of their members. We pursue these goals through:

1) environmental research and monitoring, to ensure informed and sustainable interactions with the environment, and

2) environmentally sustainable approaches to socioeconomic development.
