Our Vision and Mission
The inspiration for our work is a Siberian crane named Omid that migrated each year to the shores of the Caspian Sea. The name means “hope” in Persian, and it was given by the Finnish ornithologist Ellen Tavakoli, who lived in Iran. Omid was the last individual of the Western Siberian population and the only one that still remembered the ancient migration route. It traversed all human-made boundaries and ignored all human conflicts. The purpose of our work is to carry the values and knowledge of cultures across all borders to bring hope to humanity that is divided by conflict and ignorance. Minar AI operates in the Sveaborg / Suomenlinna Sea Fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
