The Challenge

All over the world traditional indigenous science is being lost to the relentless forces of “modernization.” This loss not only impacts indigenous people like the Maya but every human being who lives on this planet. We urgently need proven alternatives to food production, as industrial agriculture systems cannot be sustained.

Traditional agricultural practices that emerge with nature can chart paths to wiser resource management applicable worldwide.

What We Do

Our programs are dedicated to the principles of sustainability, ecological education, and cultural heritage preservation. We work in the Maya Forest in Belize and Guatemala, focusing current efforts at El Pilar Archaeological Reserve for Maya Flora and Fauna.

Our projects cross many fields of study and action including archaeology, agriculture, permaculture, education, history, and botany, among others.

All our projects fall under three categories, Archaeology Under the Canopy, Forest Garden Education, and our Bi-National Peace Park Initiative.  Our ultimate goal is to gain and share knowledge of proven ancient methods of sustainability in order to build a better future.
