Earth Guardians is dedicated to global forest conservation, restoring critical ecosystems since 2015. Our latest project in Tagba, Togo, aims to reforest 10 hectares with 20,000 trees. Beyond planting, we empower Indigenous communities, safeguard biodiversity, and combat climate change for a brighter future.

A grant from The World Rainforest Fund will match donations up to $10,000 for our Tagba efforts. Help us double our impact and plant hope for future generations. Donate today at gofundme.com/f/earth-guardians-togo-reforestation. Learn more or become an Earth Guardian at earthguardians.org.

Amid global crises—climate change, ecocide, declining biodiversity, social inequity, injustice, and political turmoil—Indigenous lifeways and values offer a path to a better future.

Birds, our feathered relatives, provide valuable insights into these principles. Join the conversation.

Our panelists are Aimee Roberson (Cultural Survival Executive Director), Ruben Flores (CS Bazaar Artist), Kim Tekwitha Spencer (CS Youth Fellow), and Israel Hernández López (KOEF Grant Partner). Interpretation is available: tinyurl.com/lifeways1120.

Jade, an 18-year-old from North Carolina, is actively combating Colony Collapse Disorder and promoting bee conservation. Through her Pollinator Initiative, she establishes apiaries and pollinator parks in local schools, aiming to replicate her successful high school model across the area.

She has secured grant funding and organized students to become certified beekeepers with local support. Since April 2017, bees introduced to the White Oak area have been maintained pesticide-free. Jade's efforts highlight the importance of honey bees in the ecosystem and educate students about declining bee populations and beekeepers.
