This is already happening. Now we invite you to be part of it.

This project is born from a deep commitment: to create ways of living where humans, animals, plants, fungi, and minerals can thrive together.

Today, that vision is taking root in the Galápagos.

We are building a women-led regenerative network that restores ecosystems while creating dignified livelihoods through ethical herbalism and syntropic agriculture. This is not a concept — it is already alive. Farmers are involved. Alliances are formed. The network is growing.

Now, we are ready for the next step.

We are raising $20,000 USD in the next 30 days to:

• Install a herbal laboratory in Santa Cruz Island

• Provide 30 full scholarships for local women and farmers

• Expand regenerative practices across Santa Cruz, Floreana, and Isabela

Each scholarship trains participants from soil to medicine — from planting and pruning to herbal processing, product creation, and distribution — including a starter kit to begin immediately.

Your donation does not just support a project.

It activates a network.

It empowers women.

It restores ecosystems.

This is how regeneration spreads: through people, through land, through connection.

You are not outside of this. You are part of it.

If this vision resonates, we invite you to act now.

SOME CONTEXT:

After completing the Regenesis Incubator at the Galápagos islands, Semilla de Mares facilitated two regenerative workshops for farmers in the Galápagos—one hosted at Susi’s orchard and another at Montemar. As a result, eight local farmers joined the Galápagos Regenerative Network.

Together with Montemar, we also formed a strategic alliance to offer products from the Plantas de Mares Network, strengthening local regenerative economies. At the same time, Jill Blythe has been supporting the project as a key pollinator, helping connect our work with international eco-conscious tourism agencies, such as Somewhere Sunny.

In parallel, we co-created the Regenerative Passport, in collaboration with architect Javier Mera and Professor Javier Zoller through his Citizen Science project. This initiative brings together students, local businesses, and visitors, inviting them to actively participate in the regenerative network and care for the territory.

This project founded in Mexico is already generating significant positive social and environmental impact in the Galápagos and we are already expanding to Colombia and Europe.

THE FOUNDER:

Pamela Virginia (Via) Martínez, founder of Semilla de Mares, is a committed leader in the global regenerative movement. Nutritionist, permaculture practitioner, syntropic farmer, herbalist, and socio-environmental facilitator, she brings a holistic, systems-based approach to regeneration.

With over 20 years of international experience implementing regenerative solutions, Via specialized in syntropic agriculture seven years ago in Brazil, the birthplace of the syntropic movement. Since then, she has trained directly with its pioneers, including founder Ernst Götsch.

She has contributed to agroecological and regenerative projects across Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Mexico. She is the founder of Casa Raíces de Mares, a living and learning residence based in Valle de Bravo, a key territory within Mexico’s Bosque de Agua watershed, where her work focuses on creating regenerative spaces that strengthen ecological resilience and watershed health.

Via also develops a line of health and herbal products and is currently traveling throughout Latin America to weave the international network of Plantas de Mares.
