TAFU – Nature Conservation Organisation
Our World, Our Responsibility
TAFU is a nature conservation organisation that aims to raise awareness about the importance of personal responsibility and action in preserving the environment. The organisation was founded in May 2021 by Nika Underwood, then a 13-year-old girl who believes it is time to move from discussing and supporting environmental issues to taking action.
TAFU does not fundraise or sell anything but instead focuses on hands-on global projects. It spreads awareness through events such as international concerts and clean-ups, held every first weekend of the month, conducting interviews with scientists and activists, teen photography competition, researching nature topics. TAFU also encourages personal exploration, and generally trying to show young people a sustainable way of living can be fun and very interesting.
In addition, TAFU has produced a web app, Eco Patrol, which allows individuals to report illegal rubbish dumps and polluted areas. TAFU also offers environmental education programs in schools and youth centres, webinars on various topics such as pollution and climate change, and information about the importance of certain animal species in ecosystems. TAFU also focuses on wildfire awareness, particularly the threat of human-made fires on ecosystems and animal habitats. All are welcome to join and support TAFU’s efforts in preserving nature and addressing environmental issues.
We invite you to join us in our efforts to change how we live, think, and behave. It is our shared responsibility to take care of our planet, and we welcome any ideas, questions, contributions, and actions that can help us make a positive impact. If you are interested in getting involved, we are looking for country representatives, volunteers, projects, and ideas. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us and join our cause. Together, we can make a difference. OUR WORLD IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY!
Building a Better Tomorrow, Together
Let’s keep it wonderful!
