The Platforms
The AEON collective's Tree Library program focuses on community-based planetary repair to combat climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss. It operates through four distinct platforms, driving collaborative efforts for human-centric empowerment.
Education & Capacity Building
We aspire to develop skills for Planetary Repair, promote social and economic inclusion, and draw from ancestral wisdom, with a specific focus on the needs and priorities of local communities.
Coral Reef Restoration Course
This program is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and practical skills needed to restore and conserve coral reefs. Coral reefs are vital ecosystems that support a diverse array of marine life and provide numerous benefits to coastal communities. However, they are facing significant threats due to climate change, pollution, overfishing, and other human activities.
The goals
Increased knowledgable and relevant skill development in individuals and communities
