It is a pleasure to recommend Oliver Dauert, a visionary eco-preneur whose work stands at the intersection of biodiversity protection, social innovation, and community empowerment. Oliver is one of those rare individuals who combines deep ecological knowledge with the entrepreneurial mindset needed to bring about real-world change. Whether he's restoring habitats, supporting regenerative land use models, or mobilizing communities around local conservation efforts, Oliver brings a sense of purpose, creativity, and perseverance to everything he does. His projects don't just aim to preserve nature—they actively regenerate ecosystems while building bridges between people. Oliver understands that real impact emerges when environmental solutions are rooted in local culture and driven by the people who live closest to the land. He’s a natural collaborator, bringing together farmers, activists, researchers, and entrepreneurs with a shared mission to protect biodiversity and build resilient futures. Above all, Oliver leads by example. His integrity, humility, and hands-on approach have inspired many—including myself. I’m confident that any initiative he is part of will benefit not only from his expertise, but from the care, energy, and vision he brings to every challenge. If you're looking for someone to drive ecological entrepreneurship while weaving together nature and community, Oliver Dauert is an outstanding choice.

Wildya is the online home I aspire to have—a community where I feel a sense of belonging and connection. From my very first coffee chat with Oliver six months ago, I knew I wanted to be part of this incredible group. That initial spark has only grown stronger as I’ve continued to engage with the community. What makes Wildya special is its welcoming and diverse community. It brings together people from all walks of life, united by a shared love for nature and a desire to support it. Whether it’s through personal actions, community-led projects, or professional endeavors, there’s a sense of shared purpose that’s deeply inspiring. One of the best aspects of Wildya is how community-driven it is. The Wildya team works tirelessly to shape the space around our needs, constantly iterating based on feedback. It’s empowering to feel like an active participant in a journey we’re all on together. What I get from Wildya evolves month to month, depending on what I need at the time. Right now, it’s a space where I can share my thoughts openly, be seen, commit to actions, and get accountability. It’s also where I learn about new projects, ideas, and people, and where I can join interactive workshops and discussions —like the 2025 Nature Bingo Workshop I’m attending next week to plan my actions for nature in the coming year. Wildya+ has been a fantastic addition too. With the subscription, I’ve gained access to amazing courses, events, and masterclasses. Over the past few months, I’ve had the chance to listen to and interact with inspiring people, like Ollie Potter discussing opportunities in Nature Technology, Sathya Raghu V Mokkapati sharing his ambitious project Soul Forest, Gilles Toussaint sharing his expertise in growth marketing, and Manuela Risch leading a workshop on non-human personas. These are just a few highlights—there have been so many other incredible sessions, and having access to the recordings makes it even better. If you’re looking for a community of nature doers—a place where you can connect, learn, and take meaningful action—I can’t recommend Wildya enough.

Mate, you’re such an example for all of us. And your newsletters rule! 👊🏼

Wildya is an interactive and intuitive platform. Through my active participation, I have engaged with great minds that have provided deep insights and I have also gotten to network and connect with like minded people.

I absolutely love this and agree with the fact that nature positive thinking is sometimes undervalued, and I think that's because it’s difficult and layered. I just had the chance to go through it in detail and I really liked that your questions don’t only focus on the present, but also on the future of the business, which gives this a much bigger scope + it pushes you to think on a personal level, how and if, you or the people you work with adapt these ideologies and mindsets in their day-to-day. I personally aspire to be a social entrepreneur, and will def use your model in the process. Thank you again, Oliver! You're very inspiring, and I hope you keep doing the impactful and amazing work!

Wildya has completely transformed how I connect with nature. It’s more than just a platform—it’s a vibrant community with events and insights that make conservation feel personal and impactful. Wildya has helped me connect more deeply with nature and feel part of something meaningful. The tools and resources make it easy to contribute, and the community is welcoming and genuine. It’s become a place where I can make a small, real difference for wildlife and connect with like-minded community members from all over the world.

I've never had anywhere I could connect with other nature lovers before. So, Wildya feels really special. It's more than 'just' a brilliant platform for people who are passionate about biodiversity; it's a vibrant community (or ecosystem, if you will) of like minds and fresh perspectives. I'm also really looking forward to exploring the educational materials – and learning more about how to build a wilder world. Well done, Wildya Team!

Wildya helps me stay connected with everything and everyone nature-centric: events, people, businesses, job opportunities. It's an ecosystem of mutually beneficial collabs, courses that foster personal growth, and ideas that can make the world greener. 100% natural!

Hey, my name is David Fisher, and I'm in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. I absolutely recommend Wildya wholeheartedly. I found it online looking for connection with people who believe as I do in the preciousness of the planet. I found a wonderful community and a great networking opportunity with people all over the world. Everybody is kind, supportive, and encouraging, sharing each other's successes as well as burdens and anxieties. Most importantly, Wildya is giving me hope. I'm realizing there are a lot of people out there who want to create a better world, and that motivates me to do my part every day. It feels good knowing there are people cheering for me, and I'm cheering for them, with each other's backs when things get hard.

I came to know Wildya last year after our organization, This is My Earth (TiME) faced a challenge of trying to make a big leap in our activities. TiME, a democratic and egalitarian international organization, uses crowdfunding to purchase and protect biodiversity hotspots around the world, using 100% of donations for the cause. We had Wildya study carefully the operations of TiME, the good and more challenging parts. Oliver was very professional and managed to put a very reliable mirror for us and let us understand where we should improve and how. Eventually, even though TiME did not receive the fund that was suppose to enable us to make this leap, we received many important recommendations that will continue to assist us improve our efficiency and expand our activities.

Oliver supported me with my social media positioning, content strategy, and content planning. Basically all the things you actually need to build visibility on LinkedIn without guessing. He definitely knows his way around social media and marketing. What I really appreciated is how practical and personal his support was. Nothing generic. Everything tailored to where I was and what I wanted to achieve. On top of that, Oliver is simply a great human to work with. The collaboration feels easy, honest, and thoughtful. You can tell he genuinely cares and that makes a huge difference. I’m truly grateful for everything he shared and taught me. Thanks to him, I feel much clearer and more confident about claiming my space on LinkedIn.

We had the pleasure of Oliver Dauert's LinkedIn workshop at a team offside in 2025. Oli gave a brillant presentation on the basis of his impressive achievements with Wildya. Rarely have I come away from a keynote with such a clear understanding of how to make easy improvements. The entire team was buzzing, really. So I can't recommend Oli and Wildya enough. Most worthy cause to support as well.

Quick shoutout to Wildya and founders Michelle Egly and Oliver Dauert! Found them through grad school friend Christian von Loewenich (WWF Berlin). After I joined the platform, Michelle introduced herself and offered to chat. We've been in touch since - she's helping me network and navigate the conservation tech ecosystem. The community is full of ecopreneurs building in biodiversity restoration, climate adaptation, regenerative agriculture, and ecological tech. The masterclasses feature experienced founders who've shipped products and raised funding. Wildya is where nature-minded builders find clarity, reconnect with purpose, and move forward without doing it alone. Also: Every Premium Membership funds nature restoration. Each month, 15% of each subscription protects 1m² of biodiversity. If you're building in this space, try the free trial: wildya.io
