To celebrate Earth Day 2025, TreeSisters hosted a powerful live discussion with Benki Piyãko, spiritual leader of the Ashaninka people and founder of the Yorenka Tasorentsi Institute, alongside key members of his team.
For over five years, TreeSisters has partnered with Yorenka Tasorentsi to support community-led reforestation in the Brazilian Amazon—blending traditional knowledge with innovative practices to heal ecosystems and strengthen Indigenous leadership.
Watch this rare and inspiring discussion, and hear directly from those living and leading the restoration of one of the most vital regions on Earth.
During the event, we received a few thoughtful questions we didn’t have time to answer live. Here are their full responses:
What are your next actions internationally, in particular in France ? As inspiration for what to do next.
Can I ask, do you have a Nature Recovery Action Plan? If so, could you tell us a bit about how you decide, as a community, on your top priorities, for saving species, when nature is under so much pressure and there are such limited resources for nature recovery work.
What does it look like when visitors come with psychological illness and are healed by the traditional medicines?
