LEafpfff

official Tumblr page of LEaf, an upcoming environmental and animal-based robotics volunteer group in the Philippines in 2027. This year, we focus on personal field reflections and fundraising for strays : )

Our monthly simple ethnographic reflections have begun!

Introducing our initiative, Strays and my RC, is meant to foster empathy in action, fieldwork interest, and community insights for the stray animals around us through a remote-controlled car. It is also intended to be the guiding arc for LEaf's archetypal robot next year.

Its only grounding message is this: that we, in our little skillful ways, can support other vulnerable beings in our reach.

Not everyone can directly approach a stray dog or cat safely, and that is okay! An RC and simple notetaking could help!

Transparency Note: NOT AI-Assisted.

An initiative that started from one robot and a piercing moment in Dumaguete.

Look and read through the personal multi-species ethnographic reflections and insights soon! We'll also be sharing possible fundraising momentums along the way.

Transparency note: Canva's Generative AI Style Match, Watercolor, is used for LEaf's original sketch for its vegetable mascot, Sprout, for this introductory reel.
