Our mission is three-fold: to promote storytelling as a means through which to create community solidarity, to identify local existential problems, and to establish clear cross-cultural communication; to provide funding for small-scale community development projects conceived and implemented by local partners; and to promote community sovereignty through culturally respectful practice rooted in the consent of local partners.<\/p><p>InitialEyes believes in the wisdom of indigenous peoples and seeks to empower traditionally marginalized communities to preserve their culture and increase sustainable practices surrounding the environment. We envision resilient communities, with autonomy over natural resource management. Residing in some of the most biodiverse regions in the world, their knowledge of tropical forest stewardship and centuries of coexistence will prove crucial to the survival of the human species. Through participatory storytelling workshops, capacity building, and collaborative project development, InitialEyes supports community-led initiatives to strengthen biocultural conservation in the region. We provide technical support, education, and skill development, while incorporating local knowledge and expertise.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">To
