Indeed, sumakawsanaโs inclusiveness understands the interdependence between nature and humans: we share the same planet; every action affects everyone. #sumakawsana#Indigenouswisdom
The Indigenous Kichwa people from Napo, Ecuador use the term sumakawsana which could be translated as โabundance for all beingsโ, a concept that is meant to describe their encompassing cosmovision.
As the #COP26 conference comes to an end, we recommit to our mission of restoring and conserving the planet's ecosystems and biodiversity through human empowerment.
We're launching our brand new website with the support of our network of co-restorers! ๐

Butterfly effect explained: a person living in Canada may suffer the consequences of the loss of forests in Ecuador, while this same person may be affecting the state of these forests with their decisions.
Why? The Amazon regulates water cycles (generating about 2 cubic meters of water annually) and the climate of the entire planet. The correct functioning of the ecological processes that occur in the Amazon forests is vital for the proliferation of life on earth.
Our work is in direct contrast to scarcity ideology, which holds that we are always living in lack. When we operate from an abundance mindset, we are building towards a world of more health, more wealth, more life.
Abundance is at the heart of our ecosystem restoration approach. We believe that the earth creates life in abundance, and that we too have what we need to create plentiful love, beauty, and resources for everyone.
As more people are taking up the call to address biodiversity loss and climate change, we are witnessing our movement expanding! We are proud to introduce Max and Susana, our newest restorers who are plugging into this growth by adding 21 hectares of land in restoration.
Check out a neat find from one of our restorers! This butterfly is known as an eighty-eight for the outlined number 8 that appears on its wings. #amazonrainforest
Restoration work not only entails returning ecosystems back to their original trajectory of growth; it also means turning our bodies, minds, and souls towards a biocentric ethic of being with the world.
Ecosystem restoration is not a process of rebuilding the environment for humanly ends; it is a guiding principle that places humans among the vast webs of life wherein all beings live in interdependent relationships. Restoration is our ecological duty.
