We’re deeply saddened by the passing of immensely influential environmentalist E.O. Wilson, one of the greatest naturalists of his generation, leading advocate and interpreter of ecological diversity.
He has always been and will continue to be a guiding light.

We believe indigenous voices should be centered, not sidelined when it comes to climate change and the solutions that the world needs. Indigenous wisdom, land stewardship and traditional ecological knowledge are key climate solutions.
