In 2011, over 100 displaced families in #Guatemala self-organized to purchase a piece of land. Today, approximately 75 families reside in “La Bendición”, and the community continues to stand out for its strong leadership and capacity for self-management. These families undertook the task of looking for arable land in order to settle and start a new life.

One of our main priorities is to center #indigenoussovereignty through our work 💪🏼💪🏼

The secret is all about the throw in the words of Silas Red Cloud! Check out the techniques and process that our Lakota tree planting partners use for ponderosa pines 🌲🌲

Thank you @avocadogreenbrands for supporting TWP’s work over the last few years through @1percentftp! Over the weekend we visited one of their storefronts in California to say thanks and get to know more of their environmentally conscious and sustainable business practices. We love partnering with businesses like Avocado that care about protecting the planet 🌎 🤝🌱

In Honduras, the Indios Laborios de la Aldea de Suyapa are on the verge of a big win for their sovereignty, in declaring 5,000+ hectares of their communal forest a nationally registered Wildlife Reserve, to be co-managed by local communities.

At the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe (UMUT) in southwest Colorado, northwest New Mexico, and southeast Utah, #water is scarce. Tribal lands are located in the high desert, and the Mancos River is drying. #Climatechange, land management practices, and upstream irrigation diversions have resulted in low flows, and the Mancos no longer reaches the San Juan River, as elders recall from their youth.
