Our Vison
Digital culture connects us in so many ways, but it also distracts us from the natural world.
That's important because we know that the more you listen to nature, the more you connect to the earth and to each other.
Terra will take this problem on by bring the natural world back inside and into our lives on a daily basis.
We will use those same digital technologies that distance us to connect each individual to the wild things outside their door.
In turn, we will join together to create a Natural Network that will open up new possibilities for conservation and research.
That Network, based on collaboration and smart technology, will empower us to connect to and preserve our environment.
