Have you ever felt so connected to a particular place or people?
What would you do if that place and the people is no longer how they used to be?
Life on Earth originates from a deep-rooted passion addressing for a pressing needs. Being an independent Naturalist, I’ve assisted researches and guided people around the most remote and eco sensitive zones. Throughout these experiences, I’ve observed a rapid commercialisation and degradation of a some pristine places. This wasn’t just from the influx of mass tourists but a lack of understanding about their importance. The interesting thing about humans and our life is that for many years we’re separating ourselves from nature and ecosystem, but ultimately we are part of the nature and fundamentally we are dependant on it.
As a Naturalist, the habit of observing had led me to the point where the damage was all around me- the immediate and long-term effects of reckless influence driven travel :
Exploited natural resources, disrupted local communities and their culture, extinction of native species which eventually paves the way for deforestation, pollution, global warming to climate change and many more threats followed by.
From the bleaching of coral reefs due to rising ocean temperatures to the mountains of plastic waste left behind in remote destinations, the consequences are dire. Every piece of litter left behind, every unchecked hotel development, and every over-touristed site pushes us closer to a future where the wonders of our planet exist only in memory
Driven by these urgency, I dreamt of creating a community of travellers with a sustainable practices who would visit these places with respect and care, learning from them and indulging themselves to protect these places and communities not just for social validation, but to make a genuine positive impact. But the road to starting Life on Earth was mentally tough. I felt overshadowed by social media influencers who promoted superficial, surface-level and mostly unethical travel practices. Their large followings and constant comparisons made me question my own path, leading to moments of self-doubt and discouragement.
Despite the struggles, the gravity of the problem kept me going. The urgency of addressing these issues triggered my potentials. Education and awareness were the key. I strongly believe that Conservation starts with Compassion and I knew that if people truly understood and loved these places, they would begin to protect them.
This belief led to the birth of Life on Earth
