Noah del Arca is the most senior member of the Naturishly team, exudes a quiet wisdom that seems to come from decades spent nurturing life in all its forms. Born and raised in the ancient city of Basra, his heritage carries the echoes of both the vast African Zanj culture and the rich history of Mesopotamia. Noah’s approach to conservation is one of balance and harmony, often citing that the earth itself is the greatest teacher. His life’s work has always revolved around the preservation and symbiosis of the natural world, but it’s his methodical approach—carefully selecting projects in balanced pairs—that has earned him a reputation for thoughtful stewardship among his colleagues.

Noah’s particular focus lies in the delicate relationships between species, ecosystems, and human intervention. His work in animal husbandry is renowned, and he believes that humans and animals can live in closer harmony than we currently do. He also champions environmental symbiosis, the idea that every species, no matter how large or small, has a part to play in the survival of the whole. His ideas are vast and flood his mind at all times, yet he takes on each one with a patient, measured approach, ensuring that every project he touches is rooted in long-term sustainability.

A true grandfather figure to the team, Noah not only brings an immense depth of knowledge but also an infectious optimism about the future. He’s known for weaving stories of ancient lore into conversations about cutting-edge biology, his voice carrying the kind of gravitas that comes from both experience and a deep respect for the interconnectedness of all living things.

In the Naturishly office, Noah is a steady presence—always quick with a knowing smile or a thoughtful pause before he speaks. His energy is calm, but there’s no doubt that he’s constantly reflecting on ways to solve the world’s problems, two by two. He has a knack for reminding others of the bigger picture, often quietly redirecting conversations with a wisdom that cuts straight to the heart of the issue. And if anyone ever has a question about whether a seemingly far-fetched idea could work, Noah is the first to say, “There’s always a way if you’re willing to learn from nature.”
