Ma Earth

Round 3 moved over $2M USD to 201 grassroots nature projects. We couldn’t have done it without you. Forests protected, seeds saved, communities strengthened, all because of a shared vision for community-led regeneration.

Now we're turning toward Round 4, and before we dream up what's next, we want to hear from you. What worked. What didn't. What surprised you. What you wish had been different. Your experience with this round shapes the one to come.

Thank you for supporting community-led regeneration.

Thank you for supporting community-led regeneration.

Amidst heat waves and wildfires, thousands of everyday citizens showed up to support their ecosystems and communities. Not waiting for someone else to do it. Rolling up their sleeves and taking action.

Over $2 million USD raised for 201 grassroots nature projects, from 11,700+ people in 100+ countries.

Bees pollinate roughly 75% of the world’s flowering plants. Without them, much of what we eat and drink — fruit, coffee, almonds, and more — simply wouldn’t exist.

Communities around the world are strengthening their bonds with land by working with bees and reviving native habitats. They’re also building regenerative livelihoods, producing and selling local honey so they can keep tending the ecosystems they depend upon.

A city can feel like the opposite of a garden: concrete instead of soil, strangers instead of neighbors. Isolation is rising alongside urbanization.

In dense cities, many people report not knowing a single neighbor by name, and know even less about the land that feeds them.

Waste is a modern concept. For most of human history, materials have moved in circular systems: from land to plate, kitchen to soil, and back again.

And in the US, 600 schools and community sites are rebuilding the connection between people, waste systems, and the land itself. maearth.com/let-s-go-com...

In Uganda, a wetland voted alongside land stewards for the first time in over a century on how her valley will be healed. maearth.com/rdi/181f8181 In Bali, a farm has diverted more than 1.5 million kgs of organic waste from landfill and turned it into living soil. maearth.com/jiwa-garden-...

Waste is a modern concept. For most of human history, materials have moved in circular systems: from land to plate, kitchen to soil, and back again.

Fragmented land ownership, industrial agriculture, and urban growth have broken these cycles of use, reuse, and return. Organic material that once fed soil now ends up in landfills, waterways, and roadsides. Yet some communities know that “waste” can be an opportunity.
