Launch Projects
The Earth Shield begins its work in three places — chosen in council with the Earth Elders — each a living example of what Indigenous-led ecosystem regeneration can be.
Acre, Brazilian Amazon
A continuous, Huni Kuin-led protected corridor through the headwaters of the Jordão and Tarauacá rivers — safeguarding old-growth Amazon, regenerating degraded margins, and securing the territories where forest, language, and ceremony remain unbroken.
Valley of Mexico
Restoration and expansion of the ancestral Otomi-Toltec wetlands — once vast, now fragments — returning water, native species, and ceremonial access to a landscape that has fed central Mexico for millennia.
Africa — territory to be announced
In council with African Indigenous knowledge keepers, the Earth Shield is currently discerning the location and form of its first African project — a bio-cultural territory whose elders, communities, and lands are ready to engage with our shared mission.
