Launched in 2023, the Collaborative is a global stewardship community that connects people and ideas. It expands and strengthens local, regional, and national networks by creating a learning space to innovate and generate solutions in a collaborative environment. Over 40 Indigenous Nations, organizations, and communities across Turtle Island, Aotearoa (New Zealand), Australia, and the Pacific are represented in our practice community.
Rapid changes in climate are disrupting social, cultural, political, and environmental systems at every level—from local to global—placing our collective wellbeing at risk. Indigenous Peoples' relational approaches are needed to re-establish sustainable solutions to the climate crisis. Now is the time to restore balance and reinforce systems of healing and self-determined wellbeing through Indigenous steward practices.
We reflect on the past and look ahead with the Restoring Balance Collaborative. What impact have we made, what lessons shaped us, and where do we grow next? This three-year impact report highlights the progress, achievements, and impact of our growing practice community.
