We are Sovereign Nature Initiative.
We strive to reconfigure the intersection between ecology, economy, and emerging technologies in order to open our minds to radical approaches toward sustainability.
Our relationship with nature is threatening the ecosystem of our entire planet in an existential way. We believe that we need to change our perception of nature on a fundamental level. We need to develop new ways of understanding cohabitation that undermine the historic hierarchy of human domination and control. To get there, we want nature to become self-governing - able to act in its own interest, free from human exploitation.

Work with us
Sovereign Nature Initiative reimagines humans’ relationship with nature beyond extraction and exploitation. We are creating a pipeline between living ecosystems and the digital gaming environment, providing digital creatives with unique dynamic eco-data assets, while benefitting on-the-ground conservation organisations. Our goal is to encourage the thriving and flourishing of a biodiverse planet.
We currently have no open positions, but we love to hear from enthusiastic people, so if you'd like us to keep you in mind then please get in touch.
