Defending life by empowering ancient
peoples; ‘Guardians of Life’ who steward the Earth
TLG Mission:
The mission of the Tree of Life Guardianship is the preservation of the earth's surviving indigenous cultures through the safeguarding, restoration or return of natural resources and geographical landmarks that form the basis of their means of livelihood and identity. By helping regenerate damaged and denuded lands—through re-establishment of native flora and fauna—Indigenous cultures are provided life-sustaining resources; likewise, reinforcement of traditional values reawakens an innate sense of the human symbiosis with nature that has resulted in man's guardianship role and 'master of life'-caretaker identity.
Mission Statement:The Tree of Life Guardianship is a nonprofit organization that seeks to promote, preserve, and revitalize cultural-ecosystem contingencies relevant to the life ways of indigenous communities throughout the world. The Tree of Life Guardianship accomplishes these ends through the rendering of services and resources, social, educational, spiritual and material, which aim to ensure the survival and grassroots subsistence of such people and their land bases.
The Tree of Life Guardianship stands to protect the religious rights, cultural autonomy, and survival of indigenous peoples throughout the world. The TLG works to restore or ensure the means to self-subsistent livelihoods that indigenous cultures have admirably developed over millennia—when and where original resources critical to their life ways have been lost, or are imperiled
