CONSERVATION & REFORESTATION
We support land buy-back, conservation & reforestation projects to expand and restore indigenous territories For thousands of years, indigenous communities have been caretakers of the environment, protecting their lands, respecting wildlife and utilizing traditional knowledge passed down through generations. Today, they continue to safeguard some of the most biodiverse areas on the planet, and although indigenous peoples comprise only around 6% of the global population, they protect 80% biodiversity left in the world.

MUSIC PRODUCTION & ARTS

The strength of their language and vibration of their words are powerful. Each song and sacred design is a prayer for the earth, signalling to the sacred animals and spirits of the land and water.
