Regenerative futures depend on healthy relationships. Project Biome is the connective tissue — the mycelial network helping disparate organizations address the root causes of ecological dysfunction.

01 — The recognition

Project Biome emerged from a simple but urgent recognition: millions of people and organizations are working to restore ecosystems, rebuild food systems, and reconnect humans to nature — but their efforts are often stifled by duplication, lack of trust, and disconnection.

Regeneration, like nature herself, thrives in coherence and coordination built on healthy, rooted collaboration, trust, and interdependence. Project Biome exists to help connect these efforts — the connective tissue, the mycelial network that helps disparate organizations address the root causes of ecological dysfunction.

It is not a top-down coordinator. It is what happens when the underground network beneath a forest gets to think.

02 — The work

Project Biome supports the relationships, structures, and shared learning needed for regeneration to grow from isolated projects into interconnected bioregional systems. The project brings together people working across ecology, food systems, culture, and community resilience around the planet.

With roots currently in Mpumalanga, South Africa, Project Biome is prototyping systems and frameworks that will help communities and bioregions catalyze regenerative futures. The specific place matters. The intent to scale the pattern globally also matters.

The impact side of the work — Biological Wealth and the Biome Flow Fund — lives at projectbiome.org/impact.

03 — Where it lives

Project Biome is the bioregional-scale expression of Biological Community. It sits alongside Canopy (land-scale) and Biome Collective (digital-scale) — three scales of the same movement, each expressing the belief that regeneration depends on the tissue between the parts.

It is also the parent of Biome Collective (which lives inside Community) and Biome Flow Fund (which lives inside Energy). Project Biome operates as a family of tools that help distributed practitioners find each other, learn together, and move capital in ways that support the living whole.

The mycelial metaphor is not decoration. It is the operating model.

Project Biome's main site is projectbiome.org. The Impact page (projectbiome.org/impact) hosts the Biological Wealth framework and the Biome Flow Fund. The newsletter is the best way to follow the work as new bioregional prototypes come online.
