KALIMIAN
FOUNDER & PRESIDENT
CANA FOUNDATION
Manda Kalimian has been serving as founder of the non profit, CANA Foundation; as well
as Naturally Considerate™ Skincare & Wellness Products and the Rewilding Space in East
Norwich, NY. Kalimian has also been a distinguished fellow of Long Island University’s Global
Institute.
Hailing from Long Island’s North Shore, Kalimian is married and a mother of two, living
with her family where her roots grew. An advocate for horses and the environment, her
lifelong work has been to spread awareness on how protecting and preserving our wild
horses simultaneously ensures our rights to humanely manage our rangelands, wildlife, and
democracy as American Citizens.
That’s why Kalimian founded CANA Foundation; a 501(C)3 that works to rewild the over
60,000 wild horses confined in government holding facilities, costing taxpayers over $100
million dollars a year; and transports these horses back home to native lands. These rewilding
initiatives simultaneously provide humanitarian, social justice and economic sustainability
projects to communities that welcome them home; while empowering those with knowledge
and understanding of natural law and the original creation to become rightful stewards once
again.
Rewilding, or the restoration of life giving ways, is nature in balance as it was originally
intended. The need to rewild our world is what inspired Kalimian to create Naturally
Considerate™ and the educational Rewilding Space; to further promote and support
CANA’s rewilding initiatives. Together, these brands create a wheel of awareness, education,
inspiration, and action to help restore a more balanced, harmonious world among people,
animals and the world we share together.
