<div><em>Earth Guardians is a global climate-justice nonprofit training people under 30 to lead catalytic climate solutions in their communities &amp; for the planet.</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While the past year brought its share of climate challenges: record heat, unpredictable seasons, and environmental stress on communities everywhere, something else has been happening too:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>In 2025, tens of thousands of young people around the world turned fear into focus, worry into wisdom, and concern into concrete action</strong>. Across the world, young people are stepping up to protect their communities, cultures, and futures. Becoming some of the most effective, creative, and determined climate leaders on Earth
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>&amp; <strong>Earth Guardians is where that leadership starts and grows. </strong>
</div>
<div>With your support, they’re ready to do even more in 2026.

<div><strong> What Your Support Makes Possible: Earth Guardians’ 2025 Impact</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Earth Guardians now guides <strong>120 active youth-led Crews across 42 countries</strong>, directly serving 1,200+ young leaders under 30 annually. Each Crew is advancing climate justice solutions through r<strong>estoring ecosystems, protecting water sources, regenerating food systems, and uplifting community wellbeing.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>This year, Earth Guardians achieved extraordinary milestones:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong> 79,900 trees planted </strong>reforesting degraded lands, cooling neighborhoods, restoring biodiversity, and improving local food sovereignty.
</li>
<li>️ <strong>15,000+ kilograms of trash removed</strong> from rivers, beaches, wetlands, rural, and urban communities throughout the global south and Europe.
</li>
<li><strong>63 youth-led environmental projects funded</strong> <strong>in 31 countries </strong>through the EG project grant project directly supporting 16,000 people and reaching over 82,000 more - including micro-plastic clean ups, regenerative energy initiatives, pollinator gardens and more.
</li>
<li><strong>20,000+ community members</strong> reached through Crew-led workshops, cleanups, school programs, agricultural trainings, and cultural gatherings.
</li>
<li><strong> Speakers Bureau engaged 3,150 people</strong> through Earth Guardians’ majority BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ speakers, bringing climate justice, storytelling, and leadership tools to classrooms, conferences, and legislatures.
</li>
<li><strong>35,000+ people reached through EG’s free educational resources</strong> such as digital and in-person global training, global Crew calls, and masterclasses on biodiversity, regenerative agriculture, climate policy, and Traditional Ecological Knowledge.
</li>
<li><strong>Indigenous Youth Initiative hosted its 5th annual in person training </strong>with 20 youth leaders from 20 Tribal Nations from across the country for a powerful 6-day climate justice and cultural leadership training that strengthens identity, community, and future stewardship.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>And behind every one of these numbers is a human story, </strong>
</div>
<div><strong>a young person learning that their voice matters, </strong>
</div>
<div><strong>their culture matters, </strong>
</div>
<div><strong>their land matters, </strong>
</div>
<div><strong>and their leadership can transform lives.</strong>

</div>
<div><strong> A Story of Hope: The 300-Hectare Community Forest in Togo</strong>
</div>
<div>One of the most inspiring examples of our youth-led climate resilience is unfolding right now in Togo, where <strong>Earth Guardians Crews are restoring a 300-hectare community food forest</strong>. A multiyear, multi-phase project rooted in ancestral knowledge and regenerative agriculture.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since 2023, they have:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>Restored 50 hectares</strong>
</li>
<li><strong>Planted 21,000 trees</strong>
</li>
<li><strong>Trained 200+ women and men in agroecology</strong>
</li>
<li><strong>Led bushfire mitigation workshops</strong>
</li>
<li><strong>️ Conducted GIS spatial analyses to ensure long-term forest protection</strong>
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is not a short-term project.
</div>
<div><strong>This is generational stewardship.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Youth in Togo are building a forest that their community’s children will harvest from, learn in, and rely on today and long after this moment in time. This is what Earth Guardians makes possible.
