IZILWANE, which means "animals" in Zulu, is an innovative online magazine and interactive forum that focuses on connecting human beings to other species and to nature.

We believe that as human beings become aware that we are merely one of many species and not separate from local and global ecosystems, we will choose to live in ways that value all species.

We focus on the role of human beings' perceptions in the ongoing loss of biodiversity, while simultaneously illustrating that our own human survival depends upon the well-being of other species and healthy ecosystems.
