Impact

The wider mission of Bio-Leadership Project is to help change the story of human progress by working with, and for, nature.

Central to this vision, the Bio-Leadership Fellowship is a way of connecting inspiring and courageous people and projects, helping them make breakthroughs in their life and work.

And the impacts of this work are rippling out.

The ‘at-a-glance’ story so far

  • We have run 4 cohorts of the Fellowship programme since 2021:

    • We have brought together 150 Fellows from around the world, each working towards life-centred shifts across different sectors of society.

    • We have grown our team and faculty to 8 international Fellowship hosts and over 40 guests and speakers, each a beacon for earth centred leadership around the world.

  • We have received funding to begin our first youth-led leadership initiative which aims to fill the skills and capacities gap in our dominant education system of nature-led leaders.

  • We co-initiated and co-lead the Earth Funding Lab, an initiative to help funders work more collaboratively together to support more systemic impact towards ‘economies that serve life.’

  • We are hosting our first online programme in Portuguese in 2024, with plans to host a Spanish-language programme in the autumn.

  • We have helped multiple new fellow collaborations lead to new initiatives in the world, on topics including:

    • regenerative leadership and organisations;

    • nature-based learning in schools;

    • regenerative design in the built environment;

    • nature connection and play in the arts;

    • making regenerative principles accessible to all;

    • supporting the Rights of Nature movement;

    • bringing Queer Ecology into leadership;

    • and much more beyond.

  • We are connecting and sharing knowledge with wider innovation networks, including Nora Bateson’s ‘Warm Data’ community, the Three Horizons community, and others.

  • And we have supported, initiated, and catalysed a number of impact projects across the globe. Head to our ‘Projects’ page to learn more.
