impact today
Support our mission by contributing a donation.
We are a newly formed group of independent scientists, established in June 2025, united by the belief that rigorous, impactful research can thrive outside the bounds of traditional academic and government institutions. While we aspire to establish ourselves as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the financial and administrative burdens of that process currently exceed our limited resources.
We deeply appreciate your support as we lay the groundwork for this important work.
Why give?

✽
As an independent collective of scientists, we aim to show that ecological research and impactful grassroots conservation is not only viable outside of academic and government institutions—where funding is often dictated by politics—but that these efforts can thrive in an independent environment.
By building an organization grounded in exploration, authentic connection, traditional knowledge, and creative storytelling, our work is funded entirely by alternative partners and supporters like you.
Every dollar you contribute supports our fieldwork, books, documentaries, and educational resources—empowering audiences and students around the world to protect the ecosystems they love.
Thank you!
