Organising, managing and moving information presents a set of problems, regardless of whether the connections are via wires or living fungal threads, and systems architects and nature have come to very similar solutions. We still have a lot to learn from nature’s networks.

Over 14,000 saplings of the endangered pernambuco tree have been distributed from our nursery at the Federal University of Espírito Santo, and planted at various locations on the Atlantic coast.

Priscila borrows a pick up truck and took 80 saplings and a rucksack full of food to join the Guarani nation rebuilding their sacred village. Follow her on her journey…

Partnership with the Guarani nation to regenerate the Atlantic Forest more urgent than ever after an arson attack at a sacred site.

On World Soil Day, go and get dirty, plant a tree, make a mudpie, and make some compost! Healthy soil is full of life, with over a billion bacteria and yards of fungal threads.

When our partners at Pernambuco University began setting up demonstration centres with black women’s groups in Brazilian slums, they never imagined that their work would find its way to the Palestinian Occupied Territories.

As the Brazilian government was voting on a new law to open up Indigenous territories to mining and other extractive industries, thousands of people representing nearly all of the contacted tribes made camp in Brasília.

The most successful regeneration projects are led by Indigenous people, and many groups have special, even spiritual relationships with certain tree species that can rapidly regenerate their ancestral lands. Learn more about RAIN partnerships with Indigenous nations for reforestation.

Agroecology in urban slums and refugee camps is a viable way to help displaced people help themselves to survive, and even to start creating a future for themselves and their families. Our partners in the Brazilian favela have passed on what they have learned to a Kenyan refugee camp.
