Projects

There are ways to earn better income,
in reciprocation with nature.

Local filmmaking / Media

The better a place is cared for, the more people will want to see it.

The Territory and INUTW show that communities are producing film on the ground.

Digital content is generating billions every year. Frontline and Global South communities are capable of producing the media set in their own places, and benefitting from legacies of their care themselves.

Local science / research

The better a place is cared for, the more cures, discoveries, and innovations it holds.

Pharmaceuticals have a history of biopiracy in places of rich biodiversity — taking discoveries and innovation, without sharing incomes with the communities themselves.

Communities are capable of conducting this research and making these findings themselves, which we owe to thousands of years of their stewardship.

Agroecological Forestry

The better a place is cared for, the more fruit it gives

Around the world, communities earn greater incomes and sustain lands for more generations, through agroecological forestry as compared to industrial farming and deforestation.

Why sell the land, rivers, and forests, when they give us more gifts from our care?

Interested in trying these forms of income-getting? Is there any way you can use support?
