Vision
We envision a future where our human footprint is in balance with life on Earth, enabling all species to thrive.
Mission
We inspire narrative, behavioral, and system change that shrinks our human impact and elevates the rights and wellbeing of people, animals, and the planet.
We are proud to be the first and only organization globally that uses an anti-oppression lens to draw connections between pronatalism, human supremacy, social inequalities, and ecological overshoot, and to offer solutions to address their combined impacts on the planet, people, and animals.
