PROTECTING THE FOUNDATION OF LIFE ON EARTH
There is more life in a handful of soil than humans on the planet.
Centuries of mismanaging land has degraded earth’s soil, damaging a vital planetary mechanism for retaining water and mitigating heat. The good news? Healthy soil can be rebuilt in a matter of years.
But we need to act now.
SOIL is a six-part podcast series that follows the scientists, farmers and communities who are turning dirt back into soil, bringing water back into landscapes and mitigating climate change from the ground up.
Thanks to community support we’ve raised $15K to help tell the story of SOIL!
We’ve just had a huge month of fundraising, with national documentary screenings, a Dirty Trivia event with Climate Action Week Sydney and a successful crowdfunding campaign!
This has not only helped us move into the next stage of production, we’ve also connected with passionate audiences across the country who have actively invested in the story of soil.
We are now looking for values-aligned sponsors to partner with us to bring this story to a broad audience and start conversations about how all of us can contribute to regenerating our soils. Get in touch with us to talk about out sponsorship and partnership opportunities.
Fundraising events
In March we hosted national on-demand screenings of Fungi: Web of Life in cinemas in Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne & Perth.
Narrated by Björk, this beautiful film uncovers the hidden world of the Kingdom of fungi between plants and soil. The screenings will be accompanied by a recorded Q&A with Merlin Sheldrake, biologist and author of Entangled Life.
All money raised went towards covering the production costs of SOIL.
