Nature has such a positive impact on our well-being that it feels natural to want to reciprocate: to give back to help the well-being of nature in return! To do so, Touched by Nature has partnered with Wilderlands!

About Wilderlands
Wilderlands is an Australian organization which offers a unique way of protecting vulnerable Australian habitat, forever!
Wilderlands has developed one of the world’s first voluntary biodiversity credits: The Biological Diversity Unit (BDU). Since launching in early August 2022, Wilderlands have protected over 480,000 m2 square metres of vulnerable ecosystems and this number is growing fast! They are now on a mission to reach 1 million square metres over the next nine months and at Touched by Nature we are super excited to contribute! 💚
What is a Biological Diversity Unit?
A Biological Diversity Unit (BDU) represents the protection of one square metre of high strategic conservation value land. Each BDU comprises a unique and verified unit in respect of a defined area (georeferenced), that will be permanently protected and managed by expert ecologists with an objective to maintain and enhance the integrity of its biological diversity.
How can I contribute?
Any paid product you purchase on my website will include m2 for Wilderlands. Every coaching session equals 1m2 protected forever. My courses give you an opportunity to earn points. The more actively you participate in a course, the more points you will gather! The total number of points you score in your course determines the amount of square metres we buy. In this interactive setup, you are connecting to nature for your personal well-being, while also instantly contributing to the conservation of nature and the well-being of our planet! A win-win situation!
And so, by choosing Touched by Nature, you will contribute to protecting Australia’s amazing biodiversity. Forever!
