We are in conversation with 10 land projects in Portugal, France, Spain, and Romania joining the Eternal Forest network at this stage. Communities are seeking a shared vision, practical tools, and guidance to protect and regenerate forests. \n\nFrom our primary cohort of 4 projects in northern Portugal, we're creating inter-supportive networks, tenderly restoring native ecosystems while honouring local traditions and stories. In Portugal, we are working with a local Municipality, reforestation and conservation projects, a wellness retreat centre and artist residencies. \n\nOur process is focused on identifying communities and projects for future forest sanctuaries, helping to create a local consortium of aligned partners, with clear strategy, timelines and funding, co-create a forest sanctuary with an ongoing cultural and artistic program.\n\nEach tree planted is a promise to the future, each protected hectare a gift to our grandchildren's grandchildren, each community connected to their forest is a guarantee of this forest standing for the long-term.\n\nWith your help, we can establish a mutually supportive network of Eternal Forest sanctuaries, creating places of beauty, reflection, and regeneration.\n\nWith your support, we will:\nCreate forest sanctuaries in collaboration with our land-based partner projects\nShare forest stewardship wisdom with local communities\nPreserve precious ecological knowledge\nCreate forest art in collaboration with nature and people\nBuild a dedicated team and advisory council\nCreate legal guardianship for these sacred spaces\n\nJoin our circle of forest guardians and help us rebuild the sacred bridge between humanity and nature—a loving connection that will flourish over one thousand years.\n", "logoImgData": {}}
