Black2Nature's objectives are to increase engagement of Visible Minority Ethnic (VME) people with nature and the environment, through education to understand the benefits to physical and mental health and wellbeing, how that can relate to their rural heritage abroad; the education of those in nature conservation & media, environment and education or similar sectors in connecting with VME communities, getting them outside and interested in conservation careers. We also campaign to make the environmental sector ethnically diverse.
Why the community needs us
Our camps are important so that VME children and teenagers can learn about nature, the environment. This is essential because they will learn about birds, nature, conservation and sustainability, improving their appreciation of the environment. This is important for the environmental movement, which is currently mono-ethnic.
Our impact on the community
Young people, parents, siblings, volunteers involved in our events all benefit and learn that their heritage is rural. We expect a number to become interested in careers linked to the environment & all to use nature to manage their mental health.
Mya-Rose Craig AKA Birdgirl
I am a prominent British Bangladeshi young birder, conservationist & environmentalist. I am committed to conservation such as stopping biodiversity loss and saving our planet through halting climate change, whilst respecting indigenous peoples, and highlighting Global Climate Justice as it intersects with Climate Change Action. I focus my attention on change from governmental and huge global corporations.
I write articles and appear on TV, radio and other social media. In September 2020 I visited the Arctic with Greenpeace, highlighting the second-lowest sea ice minimum and doing the most northerly youth strike ever.
