Who is the driving force behind Equi-libi?

Ann Magnus has been active as an entrepreneur for more than 25 years. Out of personal commitment, she started a voluntary audit on corporate social responsibility over five years ago. These efforts did not go unnoticed: her company has been awarded a gold EcoVadis rating for several years now.

Driven by a strong desire to contribute to nature restoration in Belgium, she founded the non-profit organisation Equi-libi together with her husband and son. Their conviction is clear: nature restoration starts with the soil. That is why the ground is carefully prepared first, as the foundation for everything that follows.

In collaboration with experts, a clear vision was developed for the first five hectares. Not a series of isolated measures, but a well-thought-out multi-year plan focused on sustainable nature restoration and strengthening biodiversity in the region.

Our mission

A safe natural place is created where:

  • nature can restore itself
  • there can be balance between people and nature
  • businesses can contribute through carbon compensation
  • people may rediscover their story in peace, silence and connection
  • There is a belief that nature is not a luxury, but a necessity.

In a society where speed, performance and social masks are dominant, this place aims to allow people to slow down without judgment.


We see nature as a mirror

trees show strength • seasons show change • animals show instinct • silence shows truth


What are our objectives?

The aim is to find the balance between two worlds: nature and people with their activities.

In a world overflowing with CO2 reduction, busyness, carbon footprints and environmental targets, still being active as an entrepreneur with respect for nature is sometimes a difficult balance.

This is also where the name of the non-profit Equi-libi comes from:

Equi, as in equilibrium or balance

Libi: the name “Libi” is rich in meaning and carries deep-rooted cultural and historical associations. Whether it refers to connection, love or freedom, the versatility and beauty of this name make it a valuable choice for many. In a world where names often seem to be just a number or a label, Libi invites reflection on the deeper values and stories that every name carries with it.
