OneNature Institute

OneNature brings a focus on human well-being to development, conservation and climate projects, supporting transformational financial, programmatic, and community outcomes. We expand understanding and awareness of the wellbeing/conservation connection through data and stories that inspire hope and create transformational change. OneNature’s human-centered program design, monitoring, and evaluation approaches and capabilities put communities in the center of the work. We have validated, peer-reviewed tools and participatory processes to measure and enhance community well-being, which are critical for measuring social impacts, for adaptive management, and as an early warning system for conflict. Our approach, developed through decades of experience, is a key step to the long-term sustainability and effectiveness of investments to reverse the extinction and climate crises and to secure human rights and social resilience. OneNature’s research and projects lead to more socially just and long-lasting policies and approaches, and to thriving resilient communities. This approach can be used not just to support communities but can inform and encourage decision-makers to better understand
