“The child has one hundred languages, but they steal ninety-nine of them.” – Loris Malaguzzi

How do you know the planet is changing? Through headlines and data—or through lived experience with land and water? Without real engagement with communities on the climate front line, knowledge remains abstract. Around the world, many peoples carry generations of ecological understanding grounded in daily relationship with nature. Western science often labels these perspectives “alternative,” yet there is nothing secondary about knowledge rooted in the Earth itself.

Guardians Worldwide practices what we call Pedagogies of Regeneration. Learning begins with soil, rivers, forests and the communities who care for them. When natural environments become our classrooms, nature is teacher and regeneration becomes both method and goal. No nature means no learning; the loss of ecosystems erodes not only biodiversity but the diversity of human knowledge.

​

Our courses invite participants to unlearn the disconnection of formal education and to relearn with elders, children, makers, migrants, and the more-than-human world. We spread lived and traditional learnings that restore ecosystems and relationships, building reciprocity rather than hierarchy. Regeneration is not a model to replicate but a constellation to join—a shared practice of reviving land, culture and imagination so that life, in all its forms, can flourish.
