Nature Yetu is a Mauritius-based NGO created in 2019 (Registration number 16175).  Our mission is to inform, inspire and empower people to advocate for, support and take action for the protection of nature. 

The name “Nature Yetu” is a combination of English and Swahili which can be translated as “Our Nature” or “Nou Natir” in Mauritian Creole. The name as well as our motto, “Be bold. Be a voice. Be a hummingbird” is a direct homage to Wangari Maathai who was a Kenyan environmental activist and the first African woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004.
