"I believe that by engaging with and learning from nature we can heal the Earth, and in doing so, we heal ourselves too."
Poppy Okotcha
Ambassador
"Contact with nature deepens one's connection to the earth, and our urgency to protect it. Even in the city, looking at a bush or a patch of grass has become like gazing into a treasure trove of healing and potential."
Ayesha Tan-Jones
Ambassador
"Growing up, I never thought of nature as an 'other'. Yet we live in a culture that has made it such. We must reignite our innate awe for the natural world, and ensure everyone is custodian to the wild and wonderful world we stand to lose."
Clover Hogan
Ambassador
“I want to see green spaces accessible to everyone. I hope to work with communities and organisations to create good quality green spaces which fit the cultural and social needs of POC and others from diverse backgrounds.”
Hafsah Hafeji

"Nature has always been a part of us... We need to understand the number of environmental injustices happening throughout the world that are causing people not to have access to healthy environments and green space."
Isaias Hernandez
Ambassador
"If nature is treated as a human right, perhaps our economic institutions & public policies will follow suit to reshape our communities as nature-oriented, allowing for more accessible, safe avenues for marginalised communities to enjoy it."
Kristy Drutman
Ambassador
