Environment/Sustainable developmentGeneral Information
The Human and Nature Association strives to restore harmony between humanity and nature by exploring and offering holistic solutions to environmental challenges. As a society organization, the association is dedicated to researching, preserving, and promoting traditional ecological wisdom while adapting this knowledge to meet contemporary need.
Our work encompasses studying traditional knowledge through research, interviews, publications, field events, and workshops. The goal is to transfer this accumulated wisdom to future generations and foster a society sensitive to nature. Nature is viewed not only as a resource but also as a source of inspiration and a work of art.
Understanding the deep interconnection between humans and nature is fundamental to addressing both environmental and humanitarian issues. This understanding forms the core of our efforts. From scientific research to social awareness initiatives, and from traditional architecture to hands-on workshops, our activities span a wide range of fields.
Guided by the values of humility, generosity, and sharing imparted by nature, the Human and Nature Association is committed to leaving a more sustainable legacy for the future. We approach this mission with unwavering determination.
Mission and Objectives
The mission of the Human and Nature Association is to understand the interconnection between man and nature, to promote an environmentally sensitive lifestyle and to develop solution-oriented approaches in this direction. Our primary goal is to enable individuals and societies to act in harmony with nature by researching, recording and adapting traditional ecological wisdom to the needs of the modern world.
Main Projects / Activities
The Human and Nature Association organises projects and events that address the relationship between human and nature from philosophical, mystical and ecological perspectives. The Association aims to research mystical-philosophical ecology approaches, to establish an intellectual dialogue between these approaches and to bring this accumulation to the literature with a comprehensive project that will last 18 months. In addition, a conference entitled ‘Staying Truly Human’ was organised in recent months with the participation of Mr Seyyed Hüseyin Nasr. This event, which took place at Istanbul AKM Theatre Hall, focused on philosophical and spiritual approaches to preserving the authentic values of human beings. The event was organised with a wide participation and simultaneous translation.
