Saving the World’s Equatorial Rainforests
Our beloved Earth has three green hearts — Amazonia, Congo and Sundaland [1] — the world’s three major equatorial rainforest systems. These are places of unfathomable complexity and diversity, places of beauty and wonder. They are the living embodiment of agaya and ubuntu — joyous, raucous, mysterious, fierce and lovely.
The Novasutras Movement is engaged in work to preserve and protect Earth’s Three Green Hearts, collaborating with and promoting other efforts and organizations focused on climate, biodiversity, and the rights of indigenous peoples.
Our hearts are breaking. These sacred places must be preserved, healed and restored.

In July 2020, Novasutras signed on to the Interfaith Rainforest Initiative‘s Faith for Forests Declaration.
