Hey there!

We’re stoked to share an inspiring tale about a major win for conservation in Cochamó, Chile. Often dubbed the 'Yosemite of South America,' this breathtaking region was on the brink of industrial exploitation. But, thanks to the relentless efforts of conservationists and local communities, a landmark agreement has been forged to safeguard this natural gem. Cochamó is renowned among climbers worldwide for its challenging routes and breathtaking ascents.

We’re all about supporting worthy causes and, more importantly, believing in the power of people coming together for a shared mission. Protecting our planet is probably the biggest cause we can all rally behind.

Curious about how they pulled it off and what’s next for this awe-inspiring land? Check out our latest piece "The Battle for Cochamó”. Pictures courtesy of Vlad Capusan

EDITOR’S PICK

Nature’s resilience and human dedication.

To keep the theme of nature and preservation going, we highly recommend the documentary "The Biggest Little Farm". It tells the heartwarming story of a couple who transform a barren farm into a thriving, sustainable paradise.

This film beautifully illustrates the power of perseverance and community in conservation.

Check out the trailer to get a glimpse of their journey, and see how determination and teamwork can lead to profound change.
