Today, the non-profit Nature Foundation Sint Maarten is excited to reintroduce ourselves to the public. At a moment when the need for environmental planning is more apparent than ever, our new logo and visual identity serves as a reminder of not only what is at stake, but what solutions exist to protect Sint Maarten’s ecosystems, biodiversity, and communities.
While the elements featured in our new logo – pelican, mangrove, sea turtle, anole, and shark – emphasize our role as a conservation organization and voice for native flora and fauna, we must make the connection between nature and society clear: Sint Maarten’s wellbeing and success is dependent on the health of our precious ecosystems. Humans and wildlife alike need protected nature on Sint Maarten.
As the Nature Foundation embraces a fresh visual identity, we retain our longstanding motto that "Nature is our future." Since our inception in 1997, we have fought to stay true to this mission of protecting and managing nature to the best of our ability, despite the challenges we face as a non-profit, non-governmental organization.
To choose Sint Maarten’s nature is to choose people – to enjoy natural spaces and creatures, to benefit from ecosystem services, to live in healthy neighborhoods, to ensure our beautiful island remains a world-class destination for visitors, and to preserve our sea and land for future generations.
We look forward to sharing more about our journey, our staff, and our work with you in the coming months.
