Our Mission
Trees&Circles mission is to support women led grassroot initiatives focused on ecosystems conservation and restoration.
WHY?
We feel a sense of urgency to contribute to the wellbeing of our beautiful Mother Earth and all its life forms. We believe in the power of the collective effort of committed individuals. Together we can create a movement:
United for Mother Earth.
Why Women?
Women are the ones who nourish their communities. They tend to naturally be the guardians of life, understand interrelations and that caring for the land is caring for their children’s future. They are often marginalized and particularly vulnerable to the climate crisis. Empowering women has a direct and long-standing impact on their communities and territories.
Why Grassroot?
Local and indigenous communities tend to be in good relationship with their territories. They best understand how the community’s and ecosystem’s needs are interrelated. Their wisdom, knowledge, culture and traditions are key to sustainability.
Why Ecosystems?
Ecosystems represent a complex web of interrelations, built upon eons, which sustains life and culture. The wellbeing of all life forms and of human societies depends on the wellbeing of ecosystems. The predominant western extractivist and consumerist model, overlooks the relational nature of life, and has severely damaged ecosystems.
Our History
Trees&Circles was born as a non-profit project out from our sense of urgency and willingness to serve Mother Earth. After a few years of activity, we evolved into Trees&Circles Foundation.
Our Approach
We collaborate with local and indigenous women-lead non-profit organizations who share our values and whose purpose it is to support the wellbeing of the Mother Earth at a local scale.
Our Values
Our values are a guiding compass for our work, our choices, our relationships, and our partnerships. We intend to embody and honor them in every step.
Join us!
