Belief, identity and stewardship intersect in this collection, showcasing the individuals challenging the social norms of who belong in conservation, and how we can connect to conserve. Each story centers individuals whose work reshapes both knowledge and culture, from the sharing of ancient wisdoms to the search for new discoveries. These trailblazers influence future generations to move off established paths and reimagine their relationships with the world, and the possibilities of how the world can relate to each other.

Nina Gualinga of the Kichwa People of Sarayaku, speaks with the memory of her Apayaya (grandfather) about the ongoing cultural appropriation, environmental destruction, and marginalization of Indigenous Peoples, questioning our very relationship to earth and the quest for healing.
