Core Nature Advocacy Principles
How do we advocate for nature in an effective, heartfelt, and transformative way? How can we speak with, rather than for, the beings and ecosystems we seek to protect?
Our Core Nature Advocacy Principles toolkit provides a practical and philosophical framework for deep, relational advocacy. It offers guidance, exercises, and strategies to help you:
Craft compelling messages that resonate emotionally and intellectually.
Listen deeply to diverse perspectives and tailor your advocacy accordingly.
Use storytelling to foster empathy and inspire action.
Build coalitions that amplify your impact.
Engage non-violently, even in challenging conversations.
Move beyond human-centred thinking, advocating for nature’s intrinsic value.
This toolkit includes practical exercises—from empathy mapping and embodiment practices to mock advocacy sessions and story-crafting workshops—helping you refine your skills and confidence as a nature advocate.
It also explores the philosophical and spiritual foundations of advocacy, drawing from traditions such as Deep Ecology, Buddhism, and Shamanic practices to deepen your connection with the beings you represent.
Nature needs more than just defenders—it needs voices that speak with wisdom, passion, and respect.
