conservation​ 🍍

Indigenous & Black communities are in the front lines of all conservation work that protects our environment and Mother Earth. While many consider them activists, most community members consider their work a means of survival. Climate change is known to impact Black & Indigenous communities first—as they depend on their natural resources or live near polluting-generating sources that harm their overall wellbeing, health, and culture. At Piña Soul, we promote environmental sustainability and conservation among Black & Indigenous communities through the sale of our artesanias and consultation services. We directly support Black & Indigenous-led conservation and environmental projects through community mutual aids and micro-grants.

We fund three conservation areas:
​
1) Ocean Protection, 2) Water Management, & 3) Land Restoration.

Conservation

/ˌkänsərˈvāSH(ə)n/
Conservation is the protection and preservation of natural resources, species, and environment that result in positive outcomes for communities of color—who are the most impacted to environmental degradation as a result of environmental racism. These positive outcomes include;

    1. The preservation of cultures,

    2. Decreasing harmful impacts on communities' livelihoods & wellbeing, and

    3. Uplifting marginalized voices in the environmental discourse & movement.

​Conservation advocates for a just treatment of all living and nonliving things that play an important role in our way of life—also known as Indigenous principles (Hernandez, J., 2019). 

Eco-Warrior Community Micro-Grants

Our Eco-Warrior Community Micro-Grants are designed to support grassroots environmental & conservation movements, initiatives, or projects led by Black & Indigenous communities. These grants are awarded to community leaders, organizations, stakeholders, or nonprofits who make it their mission to decolonize environmental sustainability & conservation through the integration of environmental, climate, or food justice. These grants are available through the sale of our artesanias & pledges from our Eco-Ambassadors. Grantees also receive mentorship to help them maximize their community impact & continue their legacy as Eco-Warriors. 
​Applications will open soon. Our grants are designed to address three conservation components:

1. Ocean Protection
2. Water Management
3. Land Restoration
