What teachers say...
Since January 2022, our online platform with its down-loadable, curriculum-aligned lesson plans, have been used by:
• Teachers 299
• Schools 252
• Learners reached 37 799
But, says an urgent new report, the world needs many, many more schools to follow suit!
Why NBE?
Nature-Based Education is about the development of core values beginning with our duty to care for ourselves, each other, the animals that share life’s journey and the environment at large.
Quote from a Principal
“In the months that learners in Grade 7HS received humane education every week, their marks for Life Orientation improved by a full 20% which reflects their amazingly improved ability to express themselves, to read, write and discuss issues intelligently, and to think creatively. What humane education achieved for these learners is remarkable.”
Tony Austen, principal of Golden Grove Primary School, 2012

Education Rewired
Scientists pronounce that our planet is hurtling towards Destination Unknown...
Aimed at schools and education institutions nationally, our publication
Education Rewired brings together some of the best minds in the world
to tell us why, how and what to do to become part of the solution.
In Search of Empathy
Research on “The Link between Animal Abuse and Human Violence” gives insight into the domino effect of animal abuse.
The process begins when children, who are repeatedly exposed to abuse and degradation become desensitised.
