Bioregional Movement

Description

Andrea Farias:

"The bioregional movement is a diverse ecosystem of people, teams, organizations and institutions working to create ecologically-centered processes for place-based organizing. It operates as a network of networks, with different actors playing complementary roles in supporting the transition to bioregional ways of organizing. The bioregional movement operates as an interconnected ecosystem with three key elements working in dynamic relationship: bioregional organizing teams working directly in their territories; learning networks and support providers creating infrastructure for knowledge sharing and capacity building; and broader players such as funders that play a crucial role in supporting bioregional work. These elements are not distinct categories but rather overlapping spheres of activity - many organizations engage across multiple domains, and the boundaries between different types of work are often fluid."
