The world we live in
Life on Earth is made possible by a network of relationships among living beings, ecosystems and natural cycles. Every form of life exists in relation to others, and human beings are an integral part of this network.
In modern times, this awareness has faded. Our perspective has become so anthropocentric that we often describe nature as the “environment”, something that surrounds human beings and serves as a backdrop to their activities. From this point of view, humans tend to see themselves as separate from nature, which becomes a space to be used or managed rather than a vital network of which they are part.
This is why we choose to speak of ecology instead: to draw attention back to the care of ecosystems as a whole, starting from the recognition of the deep interconnectedness that links all forms of life. A perspective that invites us to consider human well-being as inseparable from the health of the natural world.
Today’s challenges
The ecological crisis we are facing is also the result of a worldview in which human beings perceive themselves as separate from the rest of nature. This has led to deeply destructive behaviors toward ecosystems and species, ultimately affecting humanity itself.
It is becoming increasingly clear that harming nature means harming ourselves. Pollution, environmental degradation and the loss of biodiversity have direct effects on people’s health, safety and quality of life1. Continuing along this path is counterintuitive and unsustainable, yet it persists because we struggle to recognize the deep connection that binds us to the natural world.
Today’s challenges are therefore both cultural and concrete. On the one hand, it is necessary to rebuild an ecocentric perspective, in which human beings recognize themselves as part of nature. On the other, there is an urgent need to address tangible issues such as the loss of species and habitats and climate change, which threaten the balance of life on Earth.
Our perspective
We don’t see nature as a resource to be used, but as a network of living ecosystems that have intrinsic value and deserve to be protected. The natural world is neither a backdrop nor a tool, but a complex and precious system of which human beings are part, without being at its center.
At the same time, human beings have developed extremely powerful tools and capacities for intervention, giving them a great power of transformation, for better or for worse. It is precisely this power that places them at the center of a specific responsibility: to protect nature rather than destroy it.
From this perspective, caring for nature means safeguarding biodiversity, ecosystems and the delicate balances that make life on Earth possible. Not for what nature can offer us, but for what it is, and for the responsibility we have not to compromise it further.
Our commitment
Turning this vision into practice means taking concrete responsibility for the living world. For this reason, we support social initiatives that protect animal and plant species and care for the most fragile ecosystems.
Their work helps build a more conscious relationship between people and the Earth, by recognizing the value of biodiversity and natural balances. We also stand alongside those who defend the rights of nature at the legal level, promoting the protection of the natural world as an entity to be safeguarded, not merely as a resource to be managed.
To generate deep and lasting change, we collaborate with institutions, philanthropists, social organizations and experts. We believe that only by bringing together skills, resources and visions can we foster real transformations, capable of influencing both practices and the way we think about nature.
