Daughters for Earth

05/14/2026

Women aren’t waiting to be saved. They’re leading the transformation.

Daughters for Earth exists because the data is undeniable, and so is what women are already doing about it. Around the world, women-led initiatives aren’t just restoring ecosystems. They’re reshaping livelihoods, rebuilding trust, and shifting the relationships between communities and the natural world.

That’s the kind of change that lasts.
We find them. We fund them. We celebrate them. And we’re building a global community to stand beside them.

Watch and meet the work. 🌿 daughtersforearth.org

In times of darkness, you plant the seeds.

On Wednesday , the Daughterhood gathered and left carrying words that will stay with us long after the hour was over.

We were joined by four remarkable women who guided us through this season of planting: Winona LaDuke, Andrea Ixchíu, Chochi Iturralde, and Victoria Tash.

Andrea reminded us that darkness is not absence. It is a laboratory. Winona reminded us that belonging to the land is not metaphor, it is daily, practical, sacred work. Chochi showed us that restoration begins with removing fear, not just planting seeds. And Victoria brought us back to earth with a single plant: nettle. Resilient, humble, healing, growing in the places most forgotten.

“The networks we weave today are tomorrow’s harvest.”
We are only just beginning. 🌿

This week, our dear Farwiza Farhan, Wiza, was recognized with the Whitley Gold Award, and the Rolex Award Laureate for her tireless fight to protect the Leuser Ecosystem in Aceh, Indonesia. The last place on Earth where Sumatran orangutans, elephants, tigers, and rhinos still roam the same ancient forest. Still standing, in part because Wiza chose to fight for it.

As a member of our Wise Daughter Council and a changemaker we’ve had the privilege of supporting, we couldn’t be more proud.
The world is finally catching up to what we’ve always known.
🌿 Congratulations, Wiza. From The Daughterhood, with love.

Last week in Bogotá, we gathered around a table, and the table held the Earth.

We came together for an intimate dinner with our Daughters (grantees) members in Colombia, women who are protecting land, water, and life across the country. Together, we experienced The Land at the Table, a ceremony led by .comun and chef , whose cooking carries the ancestral and rural memory of Colombia’s landscapes.

That night, eating became something deeper. An act of relationship. A reminder that what sustains the soil sustains us, and that the women tending both deserve to be seen, celebrated, and supported.

We left with full hearts and a deeper sense of why we do this work. Spaces like this one, where we slow down, share a meal, and truly know each other, are how trust is built and community grows. We want to keep creating them.

Thank you .a

New economic models are emerging directly from women and communities protecting the Amazon. This isn’t just theory; it’s a living reality. Our latest FP Podcast ( ) dives into how innovative thinkers are making it financially viable to keep the Amazon healthy, moving away from extraction towards connection and care. While parts of the Amazon have faced significant loss, these leaders are weaving a new way forward through what’s called a “bioeconomy.”

Join us to hear from Jenna Johnson ( ), María José “Chochi” Iturralde (Fundación Pachaysana .change ), Charmian Love, and Fernanda Rezende (Natura .usa ). They share how sustainable supply chains are good for both planetary health and community wellbeing.

🪸 Join us at the 37th annual Bioneers Conference!

Daughters for Earth's own Zainab Salbi is joining the “Global and Indigenous Women-Led Movements for Climate Justice” panel on March 27, from 4:45 pm to 6:00 pm Pacific Time in Berkeley, California.

Although they receive less than 1% of climate funding, women-led climate justice grassroots projects around the world are generating cascading benefits, from greater gender and economic equity and less gender violence to improved biodiversity and ecosystems’ health. Simultaneously, the centrality to many Indigenous peoples’ cultures of traditional relationships to place and to honoring all of life as sacred are a tremendous resource in strengthening efforts to protect and renew biodiversity and water resources. Join an emergent conversation to explore what these two vastly under-resourced constituencies have to offer in the quest to co-create regenerative landscapes and futures.

Speakers include:
✨Zainab Salbi, Co-Founder of Daughters for Earth
✨Dilafruz Khonikboyeva, Executive Director of Home Planet Fund.
✨Facilitated by Osprey Orielle Lake, Founder and Executive Director of Women’s Earth and Climate Action Network (WECAN)

Connecting with local communities and their solutions is a powerful way to engage with planetary health. The ‘We Are Water / Somos Agua’ art exhibition and film series in Huntington Park, CA, celebrates Indigenous leadership in water protection. It’s a beautiful reflection on water’s memory, its life-sustaining power, and our collective responsibility to care for it.

Catch the ongoing art exhibition, and mark your calendars for the March 22nd film screening highlighting the vital work of tribal nations protecting sacred waters in California. Discussions will follow,
