Since 1989, ECOLOGIA has brought international perspectives and resources to local sustainable development projects, and brought locally based ‘on the ground’ experience to the world of international decision making, policy formulation, and action. We recognize that local leaders, and their unique knowledge, have too often been marginalized in local, national and global deliberations. We are workikng to help articulate local and indigenous perspectives, and are exploring how to more directly and meaningfully involve these leaders. ECOLOGIA works with innovative leaders in dynamic, fluid situations - often before trends are dominant or even clear to others. ECOLOGIA works by creating direct people-to-people connections. By linking individuals to one another, we foster the emergence of a global civil society — a worldwide network of individuals and organizations sharing common interests, information and resources.
