Amit Banka<\/h3>

Amit Banka founded WeNaturalists with a simple motive – to bring equal opportunities to the nature professionals and organizations from across the world.  Apart from being an entrepreneur, he is also an ardent nature lover, wilderness explorer, and bird photographer.<\/span><\/p>

Amit’s journey towards building an ecosystem for the People of Nature began two years back but the seeds were sown in his childhood. A critical milestone in his life occurred while he was working with Swades Foundation on holistic living projects in rural India.

The learnings from these interventions reinforced his belief that our interaction with nature needs to evolve to create a larger impact. This tremendously influenced his outlook towards creating WeNaturalists.<\/span><\/p>
