Did you know?
Our Earth is a vast and complex planet, with ecologies that have developed over time to hold billions of species, living in a delicate balance, nurturing and sustaining each other under the gaze of the sun.
The knowledge and reverence developed by humans for survival has shifted with time, and our planet and those in it have suffered.
However there is a yearning now, more than ever, to be in open and green spaces, to understand our environment and connect back to nature.
