About eyes4earth

eyes4earth is learning about the benefits of reconnecting with nature through meaningful experiences.  It is understanding how these insights may be used for sustainability action and education.

eyes4earth invites you to share your stories about meaningful nature and wildife encounters. It discusses how these experiences may shape our perceptions toward our relationship with the environment.    

eyes4earth aims to create awareness of the profound ways we benefit, interact and participate with nature.  It is about (re)discovering how we can reconnect with the ‘wholeness’ of nature. It is learning how a felt understanding of Human-Nature interconnectedness may awaken consciousness.  And it dares to ask how this knowledge may shape approaches to conservation and education.

eyes4earth utilises social networks, mapping and other visual media to assist community learning for sustainability.  The initiative is using solution-oriented scientific research to enhance our collective and cultural understanding of what the experience of nature really means to us.

eyes4earth is an initiative of the EarthCollective Network and primarily acts as a communication and outreach portal for doctoral research being led by Matthew Zylstra at Stellenbosch University and the TsamaHUB.  eyes4earth also includes information and results from Matthew’s previous research (“The Question”) related to the general public’s perceived everyday benefits from nature.
