The students of Nature Now International thank our multi-disciplinary international team of collaborators, partners and advisors who have donated their time, creativity, and resources towards our projects. Most importantly, their leadership and passion have helped to inspire our generation to take action on a grassroots level to help conserve our biodiversity and environment.

​

Every contribution fueled our passion and commitment to creating NNI — from discounts for our banners and business cards to loaning us museum exhibits and an observation hive of 9,000 stinging bees for research and outreach! Thank you to the wildlife reserves who allowed us to work hard in the field and prove that young people can contribute to conservation.

​

We are especially grateful to all the professors, veterinarians, and wildlife experts who helped us to prepare for our projects by teaching us the ecology, biology, and social science underlying each initiative. Over the years, they have opened up their doors to their laboratories and university offices, and they spoke to us over Skype from different continents. They worked with us to initiate a professional development workshop in Costa Rica for wildlife rehabilitation.

​

We will be forever grateful for all the great discussion and wisdom they have imparted to us as we have tried to grasp the complexities of conservation work and sustainable development. We have learned the importance of scientific research in the development of evidence-based interventions and policies for the protection of the environment, a concept to which we will remain loyal, especially in our shifting political climate.
