Brandon Rus graduated university and asked to be dropped off in a remote Mexican fishing community, as you do. He went door-to-door asking people if he could live with them. Somebody finally said yes. Brandon immersed himself into their community and learned about their source of sustenance - the Sea of Cortez. Brandon headed back to grad school with a clarified focus on marine biology. After years of study and working in marine biology, Brandon took what he’d learned and directed his efforts into a business on a mission to empowering coastal communities through connected oceans. Conserva Collective works with the local artisan community in Mexico to offer healthy soaps concocted with local ingredients. They also are beginning an organic fertilizer initiative in partnership with area farms. Conserva Collective is giving back in a big way.
