Mutually enhancing relationships are based on respect, reciprocity and intimacy; we nurture affectionate alliances and long term commitments across all our partnerships.
As communities become more resilient to climate change and other pressures, they become active agents in the transformation of the industrial growth economy, which has caused the many crises we now face.
The power to challenge the dominant forces at play in the world today lies in the cooperation and convergence of social movements working in solidarity for a just, regenerative and equitable world for humans and the wider Earth community.
Small is beautiful and we can be most effective by remaining small, agile and responsive. Our size is amplified through collaboration and affectionate alliances.

We live in a time of multiple, complex crises. There are no easy answers. Working to uphold the health and diversity of our living planet is always rewarding, but we think you’ll agree it can sometimes feel like swimming against the stream. And yet like salmon we leap, and more often than you might expect, we make it. We invite you to make the next leap with us by making a donation of any size. Thank you for your solidarity.
