The Pollinators Fellowship Program takes place online, but its activities take place actively in various communities, since pollination multiplies learning!
Activities on Agroforestry, Meliponiculture, Project Management and Storytelling are being developed.
The activities carried out by the Pollinators are breathtakingly beautiful!

 Meli's Impact Network
Now in Spanish!

We are thrilled to announce the official launch of our Spanish-speaking network happened on Monday, July 8th 
This exciting expansion welcomes indigenous and local communities from Peru, Mexico, Guatemala, and Chile to join our vibrant community.
From social and environmental activists to farmers, artisans, beekeepers, meliponiculturists, students, and agronomists, our diverse members will now exchange knowledge, experiences, and inspiration. Together, we aim to enhance community collaboration and leadership, driving initiatives for environmental restoration and climate justice in ancestral territories.

Pollinating Regeneration is enabling indigenous and traditional communities to reclaim their autonomy through transformative, regenerative projects. Prioritizing their values, needs, and culture, we provide comprehensive support encompassing frameworks, training, mentorship, and funding.
This program serves as the vital first point of interaction between Meli and the communities, fostering mutual understanding, exploring synergies, and laying the groundwork for a long lasting, collaborative, and impactful partnership.
