Upcoming Events from GCE:

Celebrate Indigenous Peoples and Climate Justice with us!

Forests & Friendships: Free Lecture and Discussion

Join GCE with partners Kapawi Ecolodge, FERN, the IFSW Climate Justice Program, and University of North Carolina at Greensboro to hear from Indigenous and local leaders protecting forests through innovative, community-led solutions worldwide.

GCE founder Godi Godar Moteke Molanga will share his legacy in conservation since his youth in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the dream that inspired him to found Go Conscious Earth in 2012 to protect his community's rainforest home.

Chumpi Washikiat is a pioneer of community-based ecotourism and a leader of the Achuar community in Ecuador's Amazon rainforest. He will speak about his journey to protect his community's Amazonian homeland and promote traditional cultural practices through community-led tourism.

The event will take place on Tuesday, October 6 from 12-2pm at UNC-Greensboro (NIB-124).

The Congo Basin Needs You!

The DRC's Congo Basin holds some of the world's most unbelievable biodiversity; beloved but endangered species such as the bonobo, the forest elephant, and the okapi; and some of the world's last undisturbed wild spaces. The fate of the Congo Basin is tied to the fate of our planet. Indigenous and local communities are the stewards of these incredible lands and are helping to keep them safe for future generations.

We can't do it without YOU! Your support to GCE directly contributes to our efforts to preserve bonobo habitat, support local communities to thrive, and prevent deforestation of the world's greatest remaining rainforest. Matondo mingi, thank you!

Please consider a gift to extend our impact in 2026!
