Nature & Leadership“Wilderness” is not a place, it's a way of life. We cannot be sure where our work ends and where our personal space begins. Or if the boundary even exists at all. Our lives are a declaration to share both, and to respectfully suggest that the human experience cries out for harmony with nature. The natural world is not be a thing apart, it is a living comfort that feeds our souls

Elephant conservation awarenessDue to their uniquely advanced sentiency, elephant bridge the distance between science (hard) and wonder (soft). For us they provide a vocabulary to articulate what wilderness means and represents for us all. They are keystones to not only to ecological circuits but also to a greater awareness ... Once you fall in love with elephant, you fall in love with the other animals, the birds, the plants, bugs, bacteria and fungi.
