Teens & Friends United – Nature Conservation Organisation (TAFU)
Teens & Friends United (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 2020 by Nika Strok 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 and are dedicated to Sir David Attenborough, interviewing scientists and activists. TAFU also encourages personal exploration, writing articles, and generally trying to show young people a sustainable and fun way of living.
In addition, Teens & Friends United 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!
Let’s keep it wonderful!
Our Partners
The Seal Research Trust (aka Cornwall Seal Group Research Trust) is a multi-award winning, evidence-based marine conservation charity. What we do really works. We support seal conservation groups across the UK, as well a large network of active citizen scientists across SW communities, who routinely survey seals on their local patch. This gives seals a voice and enables us to protect them and their ocean home.
Sea’d is a small NPO who hopes to bring both large and small communities together. No matter the size of your efforts, it is all important as we wish to shed light and spread support for all those working together in creating a better future. We even help plant trees!
Our name is a tribute to our passion for everything from the land to all that is ultimately apart of our sea. ‘Seedy’, ‘Seed’ or just Sea with a d at the end a play on words but signifying the rooted connection nature has with everything, including us.
