As a small professional international grassroots organization, we pursue our mission with a focus on ALLYSHIP AND SUPPORT, working with communities and groups in the Global South to back local leadership responding to advancing climate disruption, biocultural decline, and denaturing economies of scale. We work within both new and existing projects and at each step, prioritize dialogue with our partners to ensure that any skills and insights we build together meet local contexts and adapt to community-defined challenges and aspirations.
